“I chose the Northwestern Mutual Internship program because it is a nationally acclaimed top 10 internship. It is one of the few internship programs that I found that gives a student a chance to run their own business and gain all of the valuable experience that comes along with that. Not to mention, the internship has virtually no limit on the amount of income that can be made. I like the idea that it comes down to how hard I want to work, is how I am going to be compensated. This internship has helped me grow both personally and professionally.”
