<p>to be competetive</p>
<p>so, let's say you are a Computer Science major...there's getting a good gpa
but what kind of work experience do you think is needed?
is a summer internship in between sophomore and junior year okay? </p>
<p>Or should I have more ?</p>
<p>for the first year i will take Fall, Spring, and the Summer semester
2nd year, i will take Fall, Spring, and then try to do a Summer internship (June, July, September, August are all free
3rd year, i will study abroad (October- July 31) -so I can't really do anything the summer after that, unless it's in the month of August --just 4 weeks maybe since school usually starts in the beginning of September?
4th year, i finish my degree by Fall semester</p>
<p>In the 4 months break the summer after 2nd year should I try to take on more than one internship or work experience?</p>
<p>also, there is a possibility i could do an internship type thing on the study abroad program, but that would most likely be a workplace customs and just internship training (not specific to Computer Science, but stuff like office manners, regulations, career development, etc)..should i still go for it?</p>
<p>should i try to fit in something in that 1 month after i come back?
or is it better just to start working and get experience that way..?</p>
