The Intern Group.

When I thought I couldn't get more conflicted than I already am, this comes along.

If you couldn't already tell, I'm a bit of an erratic human being. One day I'll be really into something, the next day I'll be completely over the idea of it. Unfortunately this happens with everything, from boys to what I am craving for dinner that evening. 

Last night I was so set on the idea of pursuing Life Before Work (LWB) once I finish university. I watched pretty much all of the Youtube videos and thought this was exactly what I wanted to do. Of course, being the indecisive and unpredictable specimen that I am, I've found something else that has caught my eye. 

The Intern Group is described as an organization that endeavors to "empower & educate individuals, regardless of socioeconomic status, to intern and travel any where on the globe cost-effectively, and leverage the latest technology to share their experiences with others around the world". If that all sounds like gobbledy-goop to you, it's literally just a program where you pay money to intern for a recognized organization in the field you are interested in, in another country. 

When I was doing more research about this, I thought "Hey! This is perfect! I'm conflicted over whether I want to travel or work. I'm pretty much doing both here!". As amazing and rewarding as the program sounds, I'm still not sure if it's quite for me. Is it too late for me to intern? Was that a thing you do while you're still at university? Granted I am still at university but I am in my final year and oh so close to finishing, why would I take time off now?

If you've got the money and the time, I definitely think this is a great option for those soon to begin university or are still in their early to mid stages of university. To get that experience in some of the most competitive fields out there is truly valuable. Also, the ability to do this abroad will allow you to create some amazing connections and develop yourself personally. 

I can honestly say I have never been so confused and conflicted about my future in my life until now. The real problem lies in the fact I don't even know what I want. So torn between the power of money and need for freedom and exploration. I know time is on my side but I fear one day I will wake up and think "Was that all a waste?". I'm optimistic that I'll eventually come to a decision but it's going to take a lot of thought and reflection to reach it. 

To those out there who feel me, we'll work it out ... eventually.
