There is a lot of doubt in a college student's mind when it comes to an internship.

And, with most of the big names in the industry offering unpaid internships students are a lot more confused what option should they opt for. What would prove to be more beneficial for them in the future? Things like these pose a lot of hurdles in their attempt at finding the perfect internship for themselves.
