Summer work for between undergrad and grad school

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I will be graduating from my undergraduate college this coming May. I have applied to several graduate schools so my plan is to attend graduate school next September. However I am trying to figure what I should be doing for work from May to September. I am skeptical about looking for a full time job offer right now since I don't see why a company would hire a newly graduated engineering student for only three months, or am I wrong? What do people typically do in this situation?</p>

<p>I believe some people do intern during this summer - met a few like this when I was interviewing at Microsoft.</p>

<p>Our son took the summer traveling with his classmates who were also going to grad school. They were burnt out, each doing double majors and worked in previous summers. </p>

<p>Odd now that son has completed his MS and has done a whole year in different internships in different places, and he is burnt out on traveling. He may be doing a phd unless something turns up soon.</p>
