I'm seeing a lot of people equating internships for working "for free"... most internships are paid nowadays, and considerably better than part time jobs...ESPECIALLY in finance and engineering. If you get a half way decent internship you will clear well over 15k for the summer, which is considerably better than the $8 an hour you'd be making at the GAP.
