Planning on going into GP - internship necessary?

I am currently a 4th year veterinary student. I have been debating about doing an internship since the start of my third year. I honestly plan on just going into small animal GP, but many veterinarians that I have worked with so far in my externships and in clinics all recommend doing an internship. The only veterinarians that did not think internships were necessary were those who never completed an internship themselves.... My main reservation is not being able to live on an intern salary...
