<p>Are internships during the summer key, or is having several but only ones during the school year alright as well? I'm already partway through my first internship (only a freshman) and it appears unlikely that I will be able to complete any internships during the summer due to financial issues. Will that hurt me in the long run or will it not matter as long as I have completed several quality internships during the school year?</p>
<p>You're done for bud.</p>
<p>Everyone knows that if you don't get an internship the summer of freshmen year you automatically get rejected from every employer.</p>
<p>Seriously though, was this question necessary?</p>
<p>Nate, you'll be fine! Just relax for now as a freshman. However, I'd suggest you at least get a part-time job that's related to the field that you are intersted in. That way, you'll get some money to solve your financial issues, and get some work experience.</p>
<p>Good on you for starting early!</p>
<p>Financial situations shouldn't prevent you from doing an internship. I did an internship last summer where I made $1,000/week, and the one I have for this summer I'll be making $1,600/week. If you have financial problems, you should deffinitely work over the summer, and internships can make great money.</p>
<p>$1,600 a week? Christ that's a bunch...</p>
<p>I find out what my Co-op salary is going to be in a week or so, but I doubt it's going to be anywhere near that...</p>
<p>actually, the financial situation will prevent me from doing a summer internship ever. i'm not really worried about it because i can't do anything to fix it anyway but i was just wondering so i can compensate during the school year. i can't afford to pay for housing during the summer and i need the money i make in the summer to put towards the next years tuition because i'm more or less paying for school myself. i just plan on interning during the school year since i have access to a lot of choices, which i already started doing.</p>
<p>your fine, relax, just get solid internships during the year.</p>
