Goldman Sachs surveyed 1,800 of its global interns and found some surprising results about their views on life.
The survey asked questions including what will cause the biggest global impact in 10 years, to whether they prefer hotels or Airbnbs.
Goldman Sachs highlighted some key takeaways: 85% favor the legalization of cannabis for medical use and 48% globally favor legalization for recreational use, while 72% of the interns favored a second Brexit referendum. Only 4% said that influencers helped when making buying decisions.
