Is it possible to have an experience of the field you wish to engage into before actually enrolling for it in college?
Yes it is possible. Takes some searching and sometimes creativity to make it happen. My daughter did a half time internship at a graduate science institute near where we live overseas during her entire senior year. To make it happen she had to write a proposal her junior year to her high school administration that included what she planned to do and also how she would complete her last few high school requirements. She worked on an independent project and assisted on two others. It was a great experience for her.
wow! May I ask did she apply directly to the science institute?
She knew one of the principal investigators who is a family friend and asked if he thought a high school internship would be possible. He took it to the proper administration and shared her written proposal and it was approved.
Thanks for that. At least I’ve learned there’s a chance of actually getting an internship before entering college.
