TLDR: College internships make a huge difference in the post-college prospects of many students. Let's all agree that we should pay interns a decent wage so that internships aren't only accessible for the affluent. A great WSJ article about Gen Z interest in skilled trade careers (e.g., welding) led me down a rabbit hole of reading about the successes and challenges of recent college graduates. A relevant section here: "Securing even one internship during college significantly improves the odds of landing a college-level job upon graduation, according to the study. For humanities and psychology majors, the rate of underemployment five years after college dropped by a quarter with an internship. Among social-sciences majors, it fell by 40%." Internships work. Paid internships make internships accessible. P.S. I'm proud to say that Radion Health pays its interns $25/hour. It isn't too late to apply.
