A remote internship that allows you to head back to your hometown for the summer and work from the comfort of your parents’ house?
Nearly unheard of.
One thing we should get out of the way: These opportunities are unpaid. (But that’s not all bad!)
Of course, it’s up to you whether an unpaid internship is worth your time when you could be making money at a summer job — or if the experience and learning opportunity outweighs the chance to earn some extra cash for the fall semester.
But as long as your unpaid internship isn’t an abuse of the system, there’s no reason it can’t be an invaluable experience in so many ways.
The bottom line is that a remote summer internship could be an ideal situation for many college students — so we’ve found an opportunity for writing, editorial and journalism students who are looking to receive meaningful instruction and a few good bylines out of the deal.
