Internships in college is so crucial. I wish they stressed this more in high school.
That being said, I start med school in August, so I won't be getting a salary for awhile. Maybe anti-salary (debt) .
As for side hustles, I have some side businesses. Currently looking into investing in an avocado farm with some friends
This. Wish college and high school stressed this. Internship during college, graduate then boom first legit offer from that internship.
I really stressed work/internships for my sister when she was an undergrad at UCR, later transferring to UCSD, but my mom was all about getting a good GPA and whatnot. I told her, when it comes to work, it's about experience, and sometimes, college internships open up a whole world of doors for you whereas if you graduate without one, it's REALLY tough. Especially nowadays, when a lot of companies look for younger people for their internships, you can't even land one if you wanted to and/or are qualified as a slightly-older individual.
Now she's paying the price for it, but still making strides. If she worked towards an internship, though, her career path would be significantly different.
