I don’t think that the three extra semesters would do much - it sounds like you wouldn’t gain all that much anyway, so the difference to me wouldn’t be worth the time and money. Does your school have a career office? They would probably know about internship opportunities. They’re often listed online – I love Idealist, but I was looking for non-profit jobs and if you’re not, it won’t have much for you, and Indeed usually has good lists. Other people might have better resources for different listings, but I think getting some kind of internship (might need to be unpaid) to get yourself some more office experience is probably one of the most important things. It can also give you an idea for what fields, types of work, and work environments you might like (or not like).
Thank you for this suggestion. What would be the advantages of non-profit jobs? I guess I could shadow office workers too if I can’t get internships?</p>
