Should I go on an internship to South of Italy for 3months? for business? worth it or not?

Question

Well, it starts in 2 weeks, I have been choosen to go abroad to Southern Italy "Calabria" I think its called, right on the coast, for a business type internship..

I will be taught Italian and work in a company..(unsure of what company and what work I will be doing) however accomadation is paid for, as is my flight.

Is it worth doing in the south of italy(if it was northern I wouldnt complain, but south..im not so sure!)...when I would like to gain some real knowledge of working in a business?

Thanks

any views or takes on the topic is welcomed

Answer 1

I think that you should go because you might actually like it and you might be surprised to learn something while you are there.

Answer 2

Of course you should take the opportunity to travel abroad and learn about our world first hand! Esp if things are paid for.

Is this through school? Or a private company? Just be sure to research the offer thuroughly so you don't end up in Iran or owing them a gob of money for the trip.

Answer 3

That sounds like a great opportunity! You should be proud that you were accepted and definitely go! Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 4

Hi gwb&g

My first thoughts would be to say go! but it would depend on who? is making the offer? & why?

If you had said that it was a friend or family contact that was making the offer then I would understand

I question the fact that you dont know what company or what you will be doing yet flight & accomodation is paid for?.. it all sounds a bit iffy to me.. a lot of girls come unstuck when far from home & in a compromising position if owing somebody something .. remember they may expect 'something' in return .. more 'hard' work..

be careful whatever your decision..

goodluck & tgc

Answer 5

yes go for it!

i would love to be in your position! it's a once in a life time chance!

go for it but stay safe!!

Answer 6

Are you kidding me? What is there even to think about?! Go! Who cares where it is in Italy - it's a chance to experience living in a different country. Right on the coast too? This will be awesome. Go for it.
