Undergraduate Research Assistant
April 2019 • Logan, UT
What I liked
I was surprised to make $13/hr for my first internship, I thought they would pay a lot less. I also enjoyed the work and collaboration that I have with professors and other interns. Even though I am a biology major, working as a civil engineering intern was still very applicable to my major and has taught me a lot about research.
What I wish was different
I wish I had looked for an internship earlier, because it has provided my with valuable experience and insight into what career field and work I would like to go into.
Advice
I was surprised at how many internships that I applied for actually got back to me and wanted an interview. Apply for all the internships you would be interested in even if they're not your major because more than likely they will still provide you with valuable experience.
