How do I know if doing an internship is right for me?

Seraphena November 12th, 2015

I was thinking of becoming more active on here on my listener account, and then I heard of this internship thing. I think it sounds really cool, but I'm currently in uni for biological sciences, so it wouldn't count as a practicum or anything like that for me. I'd love to do an internship for volunteer experience, but I feel that the requirements may be too much to balance along with full time school.. I also feel like most other interns are doing it for a practicum, so they have considerably more time to dedicate to listening.

Basically, can anyone with internship experience tell me how overwhelming/how much work it really is? Has anyone done it just to volunteer, and not for a practicum?
