<p>I am having a really though time deciding between 2 marketing internship. One in Thaialand, and one at a 5 year old local, rapidly expanding internship. I have to make the decision by tomorrow.</p>
<p>Thailand Internship (Bangkok)
- Tourism Marketing Internship with Kenan Institute Asia
- Wouldn't take any money home, but would have all living expenses paid for the summer. Would also have to pay rent back at home, so I would lose about $1500.
- Have to take care of visa, etc. which will be a headache during finals week
- But how cool would it be to live in Bangkok for two months?
- Would lose my current job as office manager at a law firm, which earns $12/hr.
- This is a non-profit that is trying to expand tourism in Thailand post tsunami, it is is also supported by the government. IMO, it could look impressive. </p>
<p>Local Internship + Part time job at law firm
- Would take about $6000-$8000 home, minus rent + food
- Marketing internship with great rapidly expanding local company
- Would be boring, as there are not a lot of people I know staying in my college town
- Would work about 50 hours a week, which could be painful.
- Possibility of part time job with local company after the summer
- The girl who had a similar position to me last summer went to work at Google</p>
<p>What do you think? In terms of fun, memories, money, and - most importantly - my goal of getting a great internship my junior year?</p>
