Why Remote Internships Are Beneficial

Let’s face it: internships are tough. When it comes to the start of our career, we have to think of housing, meals, and other necessities we need, even if the job is located in New York or LA. We want that experience, but if you’re like me who is independent, you like to make your own decisions and see what other options are available. So why not a remote internship that you can work from home?

Here are the advantages of working from home.

Your bedroom

You could be in a setting where you can sing your heart out, dance, and be you. With your laptop, if you’re interning as an editorial intern, or anything related to communications, you can listen to your music while you’re working.

Home cooked meals

Who doesn’t love their mom’s cooking? When you’re interning outside of your hometown, you either have to pack a lunch or eat out. Interning from home, you can have your mom’s cooking, especially if you have a favorite dish of all time.

High school friends

We are so far away from our friends and it kills us when it’s not the same. Hang out with hometown friends just to check up on each other to see how everyone is doing. You can also tell some juicy college stories to your closest friends.

Make extra money

To those who have unpaid internships, I know you want to make some extra money for the summer to buy some new clothes or shoes. A plus of working from home is you can get a part-time job.

Build relationships

Who doesn’t love to get together with their families, especially when you thought your parents were embarrassing? Well, turns out that they are the coolest people on this earth and always got your back.

Learn about yourself

Take a break from social media and learn about yourself. You are in this world for a reason. Take yourself away from the imperfect media that’s on your phone and try new things in reality. You will be surprised with new things that might interest you.
