The Price of Success
But what about students who can't afford the hefty price? "It just makes me angry that there are so many people who couldn't afford this program who went the legitimate route," says Andrea Bartz, a senior at Northwestern University and a veteran of four internships-none of which she paid to secure. "It's absurd. It's not how internships should work."
Well, maybe not how internships used to work. But if programs like University of Dreams continue to grow, landing key internships may involve less searching and more spending, a dream for some students and a nightmare for others.

Comment: I decided to enroll in the University of Dreams for several reasons, the main one being the internship of course. When reading through the information that the University of Dreams provides it almost sounds too good to be true. An internship of your choice, in the city of your choice, and the list goes on and on. However, the saying "it's too good to be true" shouldn't really exist, if you want it to be the summer of a lifetime the University of Dreams provides you with everything needed to make that happen. The program did several things for me it showed me what it is like to not only work in a big city, but to live in a big city. The experience gained can't be put into words, it can't be taught, but the best way to put it is after college graduation many students have high aspirations and want to move to the next big city and be the next big thing. This program provides the students the ability to gain life experience while being guided by the program and the staff.

Comment: Corporations are always short-staffed and there are always opportunities for enterprising youngsters, especially those who are willing to work for free. For the kids reading this comment, try surfing the job boards of the company you are interested in working for (narrow your focus to 2-3 companies and push hard) and try to discern which parts of the company seem to be the most desperate (especially for entry-level hires) and then network or live.com search your way to a name in that part of the company (FInance, HR, whatever) and then send a carefully crafted resume and cover letter directly to that person by mail (not e-mail). Maybe I should write a blog entry on this, in the meantime, check out my personal innovation article: http://www.business-strategy-innovation.com/2007/10/commodity-marketplace-for-employees.html
