<p>ok, ive been looking for an internship for a while. im an above average (nothing brilliant) junior in high school with good scores and that whole deal. i applied to the one for juniors at drexel, NHS, and a few others, but they have yielded nothing! how willing are college professors to pick up a high school student?..i mean like a rutgers university professor or something. do u know of any other things i can do now, to get some type of nonpaid internship? yeah, i shoulda mentioned that, im not after the money at all...</p>
<p>high school internships don't really matter at all...get a license and pick up some girls.</p>
<p>Yeah why do you want an "internship" in high school? Haha, I netted 2 total offers for the summer after my freshman year and none seemed like what I really wanted to do (as in, something interesting). Back to my old job for a 4th year. </p>
<p>In high school though, seriously, good luck.</p>
<p>For a second I thought you were a junior in college, lol.</p>
<p>In high school?! I'm surprised you were expecting anything more...</p>
<p>Just chill, enjoy your time, etc. And if you parents give you a hard time explain to them that most organizations will not consider high school applicants.</p>
<p>bpatel, if your goal in this internship is to improve your college app, you would be just as well off working a regular part-time job</p>
<p>I agree, don't worry about an internship now, it's hard enough getting an internship while in college. Get a part time job.</p>
<p>Lol high school student looking for a legitimate internship position, amusing.</p>
<p>Try to focus on local companies--in an area of particular interest. Do you have friends who have parents that might work at any of these companies? Son worked at "internships" during HS. All were at eng/computer related companies. His very first job was a very minimum wage--for 2 or 3 days a week, doing filing, cleaning of a basement/organizing engineering files, etc. It is not impossible to find something, you have to be persistent and try to sell yourself! Good Luck--</p>
<p>If I were a college professor, I wouldn't want a high school student anywhere near my research.</p>
<p>mattistotle wins on this thread</p>
<p>hahah agreed.</p>
<p>Stop obsessing with internships, work etc.
Just have fun dude, you're in high school ...</p>
