Summer School Vs. Internship

College Majors Business Major

<p>I am wondering what will help me more on my way to getting a job after school. I am a sophomore majoring in finance so I am just planning ahead for next year. They both have advantages:</p>

<p>Summer School: My first year I thought I wanted to major in psychology but after taking courses in it I realized this was not for me so now I am at a set back. Taking summer courses would put me back on track. However I'm sure big companies would rather see internship experience.</p>

<p>Internship: I'm sure companies would want to see this on my resume; but I have to play catch up or the next summer with the classes because I can't really afford to stay 5 years. </p>

<p>Any advice at all is welcome!</p>

<p>Summer school means nothing.</p>

<p>Maybe take summer classses while doing a part-time local internship</p>

<p>That seems most logical, I'm just not sure I'll have the time for both.</p>

<p>Well if you are only a sophomore, you still have plenty of time for internships. Take summer school classes to make up for the classes you need. Focus on internships next summer.</p>

<p>Cool, how many internships do the ideal candidates have during their college career?</p>

<p>Two solid ones.</p>

<p>It's hard to find really meaningful internships until your junior year. If you have to take summer classes, do it now and next summer , the internship will be much more important.</p>

<p>Yeah registration for summer classes this summer are over so I guess I will take them next year when I'll be a rising junior.</p>
