<p>“In fact, most co-ops lead to a permanent job offer.”</p>
<p>So do most of the internships my friends have taken.</p>
<p>“Accounting is an exception.”</p>
<p>I don’t really think so…I don’t know very many business students that would actually work for free. Every internship I looked into–in finance and accounting–paid. All of my friends who have gone into other fields–with the exception of some marketing and human resources–have had paid internships.</p>
<p>“But what makes co-op superior to a summer internship is that co-ops last twice as long.”</p>
<p>And that holds true even if you do the four year plan?</p>
