This advantage is especially apparent if you can manage to hold more than one position simultaneously. Not only will they prevent you from getting into ruts, but they will expand your scope for problem-solving. One challenge you might encounter in trying to negotiate multiple jobs is managing the time.
Jonathan encountered this problem first hand last summer. In the end, he discovered that research provided significantly more flexibility : he was able to reach 30 hours a week by putting in extra time on weekends. I have to be creative in both things, which gives me more confidence.
In situations where she previously would have needed more clarification, Kristen found that, thanks to her external experience, she was actually able to solve problems herself.
Together, the internships were truly more beneficial than either of them could have been alone. The broader exposure, stronger preparation, and deeper connections that come from having multiple resume-building experiences are only the beginning of the story.
It's not a question of doing something for the benefit of the college. It's just hard to decide. I have this oppurtunity, and if I decline then maybe Company B won't come next year in my college. Then it's some other student's loss because of ME! Also it would be great, if I have 2 work experiences in my pocket. It won't hurt my course, cause as it is I go 4 days a week to Company A out of excitement. As both are part-time, now I'll go to company A and B 2 days each. The best part is that both of them have stipends.
Improve this question. Possibly unrelated: "I can guarantee that as an individual, I will do my best at both the places". Can you guarantee that you will not burn out under the pressure of two jobs and a degree, and consequently disappoint both companies? I tried doing that once and I felt I would have done a much better job if I wasn't stretched so thin for months on end. Instead of the ethical point of view, I would focus in the "doable" one: can you manage to do three intensive things at the time?
It can be quite hard, specially when one of them studying needs extra work. Try to see what is best for you in the long term. Are you considering the internship with company B for your own benefit, or for the college's benefit? Don't take a job because it's what they want you to do for their gain. Don't be a pawn in your college's attempt to build a better relationship with Company B — alroc. Make sure there aren't any regulations regarding total work hours as a student in your country.
If you were to start two part time internships in germany, you would lose your "full-time student" status and would have to pay significantly more for health insurance. Show 2 more comments.

I agree here. Since there is nothing in the contracts with either company regarding this, you should be in the clear.
I would only see an issue like you said if they were competitors. Not to mention that since this is an internship at the college level, you probably aren't even being paid for this work education is not money.
You are under no obligation to be 'loyal' to a firm that you aren't on the payroll for, and unless these are competing companies, there's no conflict of interest. Now, when you do enter the workforce, there may be some conflict, but typically by then your internship will be over. Regarding "Compare the case of someone who works part-time jobs in different restaurants on different days of the week".
I was actually in this situation a few years ago and both restaurants were very upset with me; I almost got fired from both jobs. Again, though, as the commenters on your question have pointed out, be sure you truly do have the time for both internships and school! Only taking one internship is far preferable and arguable more ethical than burning out at both jobs if they end up being more than you can handle.
