Spending time with the kids, feeling like you are making a difference. Most people are absolutely amazing and helpful.

The internships TFI speaks of providing are all related to social work and offer no opportunity to develop any sort of technical skills, even something as basic as Excel. Job opportunities post Fellowship are also limited to social sector. Apart from diminishing future prospects, the salary provided at TFI is extremely low when the amount of work being done is considered. Financial independence is hard to get.
