<p>I'm graduating this year, and I'm having a hard time finding summer programs (esp. in science) that accept recent high school grads. I'm thinking of contacting profs at a local university about working in their labs, but I doubt there's any funding involved. I'm trying to earn some money for college in the fall, and would much rather do something science-related than work at the mall, etc.</p>
<p>If anyone has experience working at their local university, doing research & whatnot, how did you go about contacting profs, and how was your experience?</p>
<p>i'm also thinking about working at a local university (science) or an international consulting company. only problem is that i'll be working with ppl older than me. sometimes i would like to work with ppl in my age range ya know? what do you guys think?</p>
