Internships are really a good way of learning or practicing the theories you learned inside the school. But sad to say that most internship choices intern abroad or intern locally on your own country or within your city, are the wrong choice for they would not be needed when you apply. That is why college students who really knew were they are going and already had an experience working would know the proper choice of internship.
For Psychology students they usually went for paid internship abroad and went home finding that the company they are planning to apply does not need the internship that they took. There are undecided students thus their internship was not focused as it should be. When you go for New York for a Guidance Counseling internship made sure that you can use this internship to your advantage. If you are rooting for an Industrial Psychology career then work for it; and you should know what companies are looking for in a certain applicant. In doing so, you will be picked among the many applicants that lined up for the job.
Study abroad is a very expensive endeavor; you are financially limited then you better think if it indeed very needed. If, the internship that you are doing will give you the necessary edge that you are looking for; if not then better look for an internship locally that can help. For the wise and the competitive students they have to go abroad to study for a better experience. Usually the cream and the crop of the school batch get the best choice of the internship.
Your internship is valuable when you can use it as soon as you apply for a job. It is valuable when employer looks for it and finds it on your CV.
