<p>Are there any summer internships available for the graduating high school senior who has been admitted to engineering and who would otherwise have a summer job weed-whacking and replacing playground wood chips? Getting started in an engineering-related job would be more beneficial both from an intellectual standpoint and a career standpoint. Could the applicant, once he/she accepts expect help prior to matriculation from a university’s career services center?</p>

<p>Although the unskilled labor job is helpful in terms of providing impetus to pursue that college degree, it’s otherwise quite unhelpful.</p>

<p>Even if he was just doing the coffee run, or working in the mail room, he’d learn a lot more working in an environment where he might be employed at after receiving his degree.</p>

<p>i’ve only heard of two students doing summer work before first year, and it was because they had a relative working at the firm. otherwise, it’s unheard of.</p>

</p>

<p>in that case, get a job on the manufacturing floor. i did something similar, but the engineers didn’t seem too talkative.</p>
