Internships in design are garbage

Can we talk about how useless design internships are? I’ve been jumping between tasks at my internship, but I haven’t worked on a single project from start to finish! It feels like I’m just there to fetch coffee and do menial tasks. Why do companies even bother calling it an internship if we’re not getting real experience?

Absolute garbage. Have noticed that most twt/insta influencers are dumbfs from 10kdesigners.

Okay. For discussion purposes,

  1. What kind of skills are most illiteracy for the role you're looking at a junior level
  2. What kind of companies are you applying to

Why would you be given such a big responsibility? You're an intern.

Hey so sorry you are dealing with this. All I can say is there are better internships available where they actually need you. Unless you’re bound to work here, please leave and find a new one!
