How My Intership Fits/Does Not Fit My Future

Interning at People's Lobby could fit my future. I am not entirely sure what I would like to do as a profession, but I believe that i would like to be a medical doctor, or a lawyer.

If I was to become a doctor, this internship would not be really helpful to me in the way of content. It would still be helpful because it is good to know what it is like to be in a work environment, and to experience the dynamics of an employee-employer relationship. In general, any sort of professional experience always benefits the intern for their future, no matter what it entails.

If I was to become a lawyer, this internship would certainly provide valuable knowledge and experience. A lot of People's Lobby is drafting legislature, and knowing the mechanics of doing that is sure to benefit any sort of career in law. I also am responsible for getting the word out about our projects, and convincing those people that they should support us, and why, and arguing our point. All of these skills would be very beneficial to a lawyer.

I think that whatever your future plans entail, it is very beneficial to anybody to intern with People's Lobby, in order to gain valuable life skills, even if you don't know when you would use them.

  1. If I was to be a politician, it would definitely help too.
