How important is it to get a job or internship going into college as a freshman?

I want to decide what my priorities are in college. A job is a good source of money and may even be beneficial towards one's future career. On the contrary however, it may hinder my studies if I am too immersed in my job/internship.

Gwendolyn’s Answer

I interned a few times in college and found them very, very helpful in increasing my understanding of what I had learned in class. I was fortunate to get a paid design internship my senior year, but I also took an unpaid summer internship. I reached out to my advisor and was able to get an elective credit for my unpaid internship, which meant I had one less elective class to take. Keep a good relationship with your advisor/dean and that could help balance your class/job/internship time!
