In theory, I agree. And if a kid is part of a family that can support him through an unpaid internship or provide the funds for that airbnb, it’s the best way to go. And if a kid is in a field where the internships are decently paid, it’s also the best way to go. Mine were both in these kinds of fields. But…that’s not the case for everyone. Low-income students often just can’t go away for the summer for unpaid or even low paid internships. They have to hang onto the part time job that pays the car insurance or will cover books in the fall. The cost of a professional wardrobe can be prohibitive, especially if the income from the internship barely covers living expenses.
