I have seen many people talk about this, but an intern is someone that normally has just completed a degree or in the process of finishing it correct?? I am 22 and finishing up a bachelor's degree, but I began to wonder is 22 too old, do people prefer like 18 or 19 yr olds??? I probably answered my own question, but thought I'd see what people's response is.

Hi,
I do not think, any kind of internship demands for particular age. The basic and foremost requirement is the willingness of the person to learn, the sort of course he or she has done and more importantly the right attitude towards learning coupled with keeping the ethics of the organization in mind.
Moreover, you are just 22 years old. You have a long way to go man. Learn hard and keep the spirit high, ALWAYS!

Most companies who hire interns prefer those who are nearing the end of their undergraduate or graduate studies. Many want to see those interns finish their degree quickly and come back to work full-time if they mesh well with the company. As a bonus, a 22-year-old is typically much more mature than an 18- or 19-year-old undergrad. At my college, most interns tried to line up a position either during the summer before their senior year or during the final two semesters, putting most right around age 22.

That depends upon the company.
Some people use the term Intern as someone who is just doing a 2 week stay at the job while they're in school to see if they like it.
You're never too old to be an intern...if you were, you could file age discrimination.

Interns still in college might be more common, but you're not too old to get hired as an intern. Companies looking for interns are more interested in what you know and can do, not your age.
Many companies use internships to get a look at people for possible hiring for full-time, so an internship can be a "foot in the door".
Good luck.

I think the term intern has no age preference. If you are learning and your in a school or college and you are learning a trade it doesn't matter how old you are. Intern to me means free or cheap labor that in exchange for working you either get credit or knowledge for your time !!!

I think you'll be fine - it certainly can't hurt to have it on your resume later.
