The CRAZIEST Internships (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 6/9/10   Updated: 5/25/11

This summer, hundreds of thousands of young adults will work as interns, and for good reason -- the National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that students who intern are almost 12 percent more likely to receive job offers than students who don't (and they usually get offered a higher salary, too).

As more and more students turn to internships, there's a wider variety of positions to be had. Like to embalm bodies? There's a place for you. Want to hang out with the Pope? Apply at the Vatican. Yearning to get down with goats? Many farms are looking for college-age workers. Click through this slideshow to see the most bizarre -- and then share with us your plans for the summer.


Do you have a funny/weird/crazy/horrible internship? Are you paid or unpaid? Share it with us in 200 words or less by clicking "add slide" and uploading a photo. We'll be in touch with select entrants with more on an opportunity to be featured on HuffPost College!

Ripley's Believe It or Not museum just launched an internship program at its Times Square location this summer. Prerequisites include "being weird" and liking to have fun. General Manager Michael Hirsch says, "if the idea of earning college credit in the world’s best tourism market while being surrounded by shrunken heads, a lock of Elvis’s hair, and 500 other amazing artifacts, look no further.”
