job or internship?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>hi, i am close to finishing my 1st semester of college. i am a freshman.</p>

<p>i plan to either intern or find a job for the 1 month i have off after the finals</p>

<p>what should i do?</p>

<p>here's where i stand
i was suppose to take a total of 13 credits but i withdrew from my math course which brings me down to 9 credits. </p>

<p>i want to take 5 class next semester to make up for the lost credit
i also plan to join a school club</p>

<p>question is should i find a job or intern somewhere around my community for the 1 month i have off before my 2nd semester starts and continue it through the 2nd semester and into the summer or should i just focus in school for the 5 class and only join school club without worrying about finding a job or intern around my community</p>

<p>i know it is still early for me to decide but i plan to transfer out of state after my second year in the current school so i would like to fulfill all of these task asap</p>

<p>if i decide to add either a job or internship along with school clubs and 5 other class, how would it affect me?</p>

<p>i need a job because i dont want to take out loans when i go out of state for school
i want to intern because i feel i have a lot of free times on my hand and i want recognition from out of state schools and on the same token, make my resume shine.</p>

<p>help!</p>

<p>You need to focus on your grades if you are sure that you want to transfer.</p>

<p>A school club that is relevant to your major or an honor society would help, and both are easily manageable with a 15 hour semester.</p>

<p>Even if you wanted to do an internship, I doubt your chances of finding one are very good. You are a freshmen, and the interview & hiring process of an internship often takes longer than the few months you have left. Just a reality check.</p>
