[quote=Anonymous]Depends on how your DC sees internships, I guess. Mine really wants to figure out whether she wants to be a research scientist, so the opportunity to spend all summer in a lab is more appealing to her than something like lifeguarding would be. Probably doesn't hurt that her lab will be at the beach, LOL! But, seriously, the opportunity to learn in different ways and to see different things than you could in a classroom can be really exciting. And if it doesn't turn out that way, good to know early on. I did real world summer jobs (mostly secretarial) throughout college and for part of grad school. I needed the money. If I could have afforded a career-related internship, I'd have jumped at the opportunity. [/quote]
