"Professional internships" as a high school student are mostly attainable if you have "connected" parents whose friends find something for you. "Travel" requires money. "Paid job" takes a while to onboard--it just took my kid nearly a month to onboard for a job at a major big box store. I don't even know what to say about "finding yourself..."[/quote]
