| help! summer options woes:
for the summer, i got offered two very different internships. one deals with field work--i take water and soil samples to help clean up a polluted river, for a small non-profit. the other is a summer research position in a lab at my school studying environmental stressors on microorganisms.
which do you think i should choose? i like both, so i am confused. if i am planning to be an environmental scientist (and also maybe going to grad school at some point) sometime in the future, which do you think would be more important: lab work (after all, isn't this where you learn how to be a real scientist? and i would get to know a professor also..), or field work (but isnt' this what environmental scientists do...?)?
whaaaaaat do i doooooooo?? |
