Internships

Pros:

  • They give you a glimpse of a 'real world'
  • They pay well
  • They may be a plus on your resume and help you make useful contacts for job search

Cons:

  • They slow down your progress toward a degree

If you want to do an internship I will not disagree, but please let me know in advance. Generally it is a good thing to find a project that is related to your research because then it may actually speed up your progress toward a degree. Talk to me if you are looking for an internship. I may be able to help.
