<p>WooHoo D just landed her internship today! She is a PR major and got an unpaid but EXCELLENT internship! She will work it part-time (around 20 hours a week) and then work a paid part-time job another 20-25 hours a week. Heck, in these times, we're satisfied with that! </p>
<p>The internship may be unpaid, but she WILL be earning an on-the-spot education in a quality setting that is directly in her field and she will get credit for it at her college.</p>
<p>DS chose not to apply for internships at big companies at the Fall job fairs. (I sighed, groaned and rolled my eyes when I found out :eek:) He just found out that he has a great full-time research position (paid) this summer with a prof in an area that he is interested/majoring in, and he is very excited! The work will continue through the school year. As I posted on another thread, my son had no experience other than retail and camp counseling type jobs, and also chose a work/study job that was not in his field, so had no relevant experience (besides interest and coursework.) I don't believe that he would have received such a great opportunity at our big state flag-ship U; there would have been 30 or 40 more qualified go-getter types vying for the position. Luckily, his U has opportunities for all! :) :) :)</p>
