This is brilliant, Chris Camacho! My Top 10 Reasons Every High Schooler Should Have an Internship: 1. Clarity 87% of students say internships helped them understand what career they actually want. 2. Real-world skills > Theory Internships bridge the gap between school and reality. 3. Confidence Doing > Talking about Doing....builds confidence. 4. Build a Trusted Network....Erly First jobs rarely come from resumes....they come from people who know and trust you. 5. College becomes intentional Find out and lean into your talents, no more wasted majors or switching paths too late. 6. Increase earning potential Paid internships exist, and many average over $18/hour. 7. Unfair Advantage: Separate yourself immediately Most HS students don’t have one. You'll get expirence, they don't, or will never have. Less than 5% of high schoolers ever get an internship. 8. Career momentum....Early You start ahead. 9. Build trust with employers Experience signals readiness and trust more than a Major or GPA ever will. 10. Identity change From“student”… to...young professional.
