This suggests that they may need (want) some guidance in figuring out how to live off their first salary, once they are receiving their first paycheck in internship.
It’s always better to have a plan. Or, as people periodically tell me, failing to plan is planning to fail.
I’ve written about a budget for intern year before, in some very wordy posts. I thought I might recap those posts with a few words, and a few tables.
