Internship Goals

What are you goals regarding internships?  have you written them down? Consider the following:

The average Harvard MBA graduate starts his or first job at $115K with a $20K signing bonus. Nonetheless, some graduates of the Harvard MBA program end up being much more successful than
their fellow graduates in the long run.

In 1979, a survey of graduates from the Harvard Business School found that:

• 84% had no specific goals at all

• 13% had goals but the goals were not committed to paper

• 3% had clear, written goals and plans to accomplish them.

In 1989, the graduates were surveyed again. The results showed:

• The 13% of the class who had goals were earning, on average,

twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all.

• The 3% who had clear, written goals were earning, on average,

ten times as much as the other 97% combined.

Write down your goals!
