Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>hello
i have graduated from high school, but am not attending college this fall or spring. But i do plan on attending University of Illinois starting from 2007 summer, when i will become an instate resident. However, in the meantime, i would like to do some type of internship, or other work, that would look good in my resume and application when i apply to medical school, and would not look like i wasted my whole year for nothing. </p>

<p>So can you guys give me some advice.</p>

<p>I think i m going to major in Economics or finance, so how should i utilize my so many months...should i start work?... should i shadow? i want to work in Big companies, so that i could get my hands on stuff...
are there fall internships offered to high school graduates with a diploma, in such places like NIH? </p>

<p>so r there any careers or internships awaiting for high school grads that you have heard of?</p>

<p>The reason why i am posting this thread here is that since you all are very experienced, working, you might give me some ideas, some advice, that could help me. Some job offerings, you have heard of...some scenarios...plz share with me..
Thankyou</p>

<p>I don't know much about med school. But, graduate schools and B-schools don't seem to care much, if at all, about anything pre-college.</p>

<p>I worked full time for about a year between HS and college, primarily for financial reason. That job experience partly helped me getting a co-op later. So, my advise is pick wisely if you choose to work.</p>
