<p>I am currently an intern, but I'm not enjoying my current internship. I am seriously thinking of applying to another place--do you think that's possible this late in the summer?</p>
<p>Im in the same situation Im not enjoying my internship also and I really want to quit the problem is that I need the internship for a college credit. The company is small like 4 employees and its an n Hr./Sales/ web design company and I cant see the company around in 5 years because of the lack or revenue. If I could quit my internship I would also remember its just an Internship and youll be finished soon.</p>
<p>Welcome to the real world.
They call it “work” because it isn’t fun all the time.</p>
<p>Are they paying you? Unless this is a truly toxic situation,
my advice as a parent, a former employee, and a current employer,
is to suck it up, work hard, figure out what you <em>can</em> learn at this job
and hang in there for the next six weeks. </p>
<p>I am particularly opposed to the unpaid internship at a for-profit business however,
especially if you are doing work the firm would normally have to pay for.</p>
<p>Never quit an internship, unless it is truly required. Quitting, because you aren’t happy with it, is not a sufficient reason. It not only makes you look bad, but it also makes your school look bad as well. I was in the same position about a year ago, but you know what I did? I toughed it out, went to work early, did the work I had to do, and was offered a full time position, as well as letters of recommendation. My advice is, complete it. In this world, you truly need a thick skin to survive. If not, you will be swallowed alive whole. Every experience, whether good or bad, is a helpful one.</p>
