Let me break down for you why internships will be vital to you during your academic career.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, internships are an awesome way to beef up your resume and boost your chances of getting a job after you graduate because: 1) many of them are geared toward undergraduate students who don't have much experience and 2) because they are presented like actual jobs on your resume, not volunteer positions.
And unless you're looking for an internship with a non-profit organization, you can look forward to finding an internship that PAYS.
The best and easiest way to find an internship is by visiting Internship Exchange. Internship Exchange is an extensive database that is only accessible by 21 colleges and universities. That means you have a much better chance of landing an internship through this database than Craigslist.com, which is open to the whole wide world.
Internships can be a fun and easy way to explore various career paths before committing to a major/career/graduate school.
Try to aim for 2-3 internships before you graduate: it will serve you well in the long (and short) run.
**To access Internship Exchange, go to our homepage at usfca.edu/career. Then go to the left hand menu, click on "Students", then click on "Find and Internship."
