(If you're not going here, awesome.) I really think an internship should be real exposure, not busy work. Too often I've heard crap tasks get assigned to interns, because they need to "learn to serve". And I've seen interns in ministry leave ministry because of the lack of growth that occurs during their "tour of duty." Internship- <q>a student or trainee who works, sometimes without pay, at a trade or occupation in order <strong>to gain work experience.</strong></q> Yeah. That'll do. :) This kinda proves my point- that interns should be used for the menial tasks, the ones that aren’t AS important. (If you’re not going here, awesome.)
