Man: I got offered two summer internships, and I can't choose.
Woman: That's a good problem to have. What are they?
Man: One pays well but it's mostly filing. The other pays less but I'd shadow real designers.
Woman: Which one teaches you more?
Man: Definitely the design one. I'd learn skills I actually want.
Woman: Then the money might matter less than the experience, at this stage.

Woman: Trust that instinct. Experience now pays off for years.
