“I Didn’t Want to Work for Free Just to Look Busy”
Situation
Naveen was studying economics in Chennai. Many internships were unpaid. Friends said this is how everyone starts. Parents were uncomfortable with free work. Naveen felt confused.

Having Said That…
He chose not to intern that summer. Instead, he learned tools and analysis on his own. Next year, he landed a paid role with real responsibility. Skipping didn’t cost him momentum.
