Internships + Education = $

Although there are still some college students out there who believe that a bachelor’s degree alone is enough, there are many more who know better.
Yes, it is true that a college graduate hired for an entry level job will earn more than a high school graduate; however, the fact of the matter is that a college graduate who has one or two internships under his belt will earn an even higher salary in the same entry level job.
This is more than enough reason to get out there and do those internships. Whether they are paid or unpaid, the practical experience is invaluable. For writers, the opportunity to increase your portfolio should never be passed by. That entry level job can be quickly parlayed into something more substantial in a lot less time if you bring loads of experience to bargaining table.
I have only had two internships, both unofficial, but I have an extensive, diverse portfolio. So, when you finally graduate and go out interviewing for the entry level job that will pay more because you have more than just good grades to show for my four years in college, you will know that you have earned it.
