Launch Your Career with the Right Internship
After college, many employers look for candidates with hands-on experience in their chosen field. A summer internship is an excellent opportunity to gain that experience and build valuable connections. Here are a few smart ways to discover the perfect internship for you:1. Explore Online ResourcesThere are countless online tools to help you connect with potential employers. CyHire is a fantastic platform for Iowa State students, allowing you to search by college or major, upload your resume, browse career fair details, and even set automated alerts for new opportunities. LinkedIn is another powerful tool to expand your professional network. You can explore internships across cities and states, engage directly with recruiters, and connect with Iowa State University alumni who can offer insights and guidance.2. Attend Career FairsCareer fairs provide the perfect environment to meet recruiters, share your resume, and make a lasting impression. Networking is one of the most effective ways to uncover hidden opportunities — and the connections you make here can open doors to your future career.3. Reach Out Directly to EmployersIf you don’t see an internship listed with a company you’re interested in, don’t hesitate to reach out. Contacting employers directly shows initiative, enthusiasm, and a genuine desire to contribute — qualities that employers truly value.4. Choose What Fits You Best When selecting an internship, focus on roles that inspire you and help develop your skills. Whether paid or unpaid, an internship that aligns with your goals can be a stepping stone toward success. Additionally, some scholarships are available to support students in unpaid positions — so don’t overlook a great opportunity that could enrich your experience and career prospects.

Agri-loan, key to farming success
Starting today's article with statistics provided by the Bangladesh Bank.According to IFPRI, 19 percent of farmers take loans from relatives. 15 percent from the landowner, 11.4 percent come from moneylenders and 3.6 percent from various associations and cooperatives. Farmers get the largest share of the loan from the Krishi Bank, which is about 15 percent. Large, medium and small farmers together get 36 percent of the total loan while marginal farmers get about 5 percent. The total percentage of loan all the farmers get is 36 percent. Sharecroppers, the farmers who cultivate other people's land on lease, do not get this loan. As a result, they have to rely on loans from other sources, including NGOs.Small NGOs and associations began to form in the districts and upazilas from the 80s to the early 90s of the last century. Along with other developmental activities, these institutions started a micro-credit programme. Institutions thrive mainly on interest earned from loans. But there is no such change in the farmer I have witnessed. The farmer falls into a debt trap and sometimes carry the burden of prolonged loans that they take from NGOs and local moneylenders. Farmer Rafiqul Islam from Natore, at one of the open-air discussion among farmers and policymakers, popularly known as 'Krishi Budget Krishoker Budget' (Farmers' Voices in Budget, aired on Channel i), said he has never seen any political person become poor while doing politics, but the farmers are not well off doing their profession, which is farming. "We don't have capital, no one thinks about our market, no one talks about us," Rafiqul angrily said. Such anger doesn't only come from Rafiqul, but almost every farmer bears the same agony. Most importantly, the moneylenders expanded their business by capitalizing on the poor state of the farmers and they never want them to get out of this vicious circle of borrowing money from the locally-rich and powerful people.

USA mortgages: ‘How did a $42,500 loan turn into a $477,000 debt?’
Cooper’s parents died in 2021, and their house was last year valued at $750,000, so – as things stand – he and his sister will have to hand over most of that to the bank. He says he feels certain his late parents did not realise that that $42,500 loan could spiral to close to $500,000 and “cost their kids their inheritance”.However, the bank says it recommended at the time that customers took independent financial advice to ensure they understood the product and that it was right for them, and adds that in this case, solicitors were instructed by the borrowers.The Coopers are among hundreds – probably thousands – of families whose lives have been blighted by shared appreciation mortgages (Sams). This was a type of home loan that was only on sale for a brief period, between 1996 and 1998, and only available from two banks, Bank of Scotland and Barclays.These loans were ostensibly aimed at helping “asset-rich, cash-poor” older people release some of the value locked up in their homes. They typically allowed people to borrow up to 25% of the property’s value, and usually there were no repayments to make during the lifetime of the loan.In return, people were required to pay back the original amount when the mortgage was repaid, or when they died and the house was sold, plus a share of any increase in the value of their home.This share was usually worked out on a three-to-one basis – so if you borrowed 25% of the value, you would be in line to hand over 75% of the future growth in value.Of course, in the years since those mortgages were sold, house prices have rocketed, leaving people facing massive repayments if they want to move – or, as in the case of Cooper, leaving the offspring of those who signed up with a huge and costly headache.
