Hands-on learning is integral in expanding your knowledge and preparing you for the workforce. It can also show you if you actually want to be in that field or not, because some people think a certain career will be exactly what they want to do, until they actually do it and realize it’s not for them. Forbes explains the importance of internships by stating, “School teaches skills but doesn't give exposure to what work is like in real life… Not only do you get to learn from experts, you get to pick their brain on how they got to where they are.” Having an internship was very important for my career path in broadcast journalism because it’s a very demanding field and I needed to prepare myself for that. I did my internship at a news station in Columbus, Ohio, and got to see and do the day-to-day operations of a reporter and truly learn what that grind is like.
