[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising college senior will have 3 internships in 3 summers. It’s possible. And each internship has helped secure the next. To the PP who said freshman internships don’t translate to FT job offers at graduation. Of course they don’t. That’s not what it’s about. The early internship sets the kid apart during sophomore internship application season when all the other kids have something lame like camp counselor, lifeguard and retail shop on their resume.

This is so true! DC had an internship after Freshman year and continued with that company part-time during soph year. He had 4 different internship offers after soph. year but chose to study abroad that summer, came back and continued with the prev. company. However, the lack of a different, 'better' company impacted his ability to get a 'high-end' (think FAANG, Citadel, etc.) internship after Junior year. It was a bit of a struggle to get an internship at a 'better' company. So, a kid who would have 2 years of part-time actual work experience, with a high GPA was not good enough for these companies. They like to see increasing pedigree.
