[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid can reach out to a favorite professor at their university and offer to do a research project. It's less structured than a job so can work around mono recovery and PT, but will be something to talk about next year in job interviews and can go on a resume. It would be great if they can get something published. [/quote] No professor wants to take on a sick freshman and give them work to get published. That’s absurd. [/quote] A physical injury may make it hard to work a normal, active summer job, but has no impact at all on his ability to do research. His recovery from mono also isn't full time at this point--he can absolutely work part time for a professor. So the sick stuff isn't relevant. He needs to sell himself, but there are absolutely professors who are happy for free research help, especially if he's willing to continue working into the school year.[/quote]
