We’re often told that an internship is a box you need to check. A line item for your resume, a mandatory step to get from the classroom to the corner office. For years, the advice has been simple: get one, do the work, and hopefully, land a job offer.

But this transactional view misses the entire point.

A great internship isn't about fetching coffee or making copies. It's not even just about learning a specific software or technical skill. The most valuable internships are transformative. They are the rare opportunities in life where you get to test-drive a future version of yourself—to discover what truly motivates you, what kind of problems you love to solve, and what it feels like to be part of a team chasing a singular goal.
