<p>I'm doing chemical engineering and already entering senior year. I had a research internship before and did 2 more years of unpaid research. Now I'm thinking should I get an industry type internship or research? I've been having this dilemma for a while. I am considering taking 1 or 2 years to go work at an industry after school and before grad school. I really want to get a job right out of college so I can get experience from both sides (industry and grad school) to make a better decision and also to pay off my loans. If I do not get any industry experience, is job seeking going to be real hard considering the economy right now?</p>
