Reality check! A slew of businesses have popped up to help match students with internships, charging hundreds to thousands of dollars to help them write resumes, identify potential employers and find summer housing. About three-fourths of all college students have had internships or some type of professional work experience by the time they graduate, says Phil Gardner, director of Michigan State’s Collegiate Employment Research Institute. But students shouldn’t pay to find an internship, he said, because most universities have career centers where students can search for free.

You can also gain valuable work experience that will help you in virtually every endeavor, whether you choose to work in government or in the private sector. Then there's the added benefit of feeling good about knowing you are really doing something worthwhile for your nation. At the U.S. Department of State, we like to say we're the face of America to the world. As an intern, you will be, too. Some of our students work in Washington, DC, and others have the opportunity to work at an embassy overseas. Positions are both paid and unpaid, and many are available during spring, summer or fall.
