Hey Aunt Bea,

I definitely am grateful for the opportunity. However as I said before I don’t have much interest in working for the defense industry afterwards which is why I would prefer to find an internship elsewhere. Wouldn’t it make sense for me to try to get an internship that’s more inline with my long term goals since internships often times lead to full time offers?So wouldn’t it make sense for me to try to prolong a decision to commit to an internship as much as possible without irritating the potential employer? Especially since our school has a career fair coming up soon I think I could make a better informed decision later in the year so I could weigh all my options after I were to (hopefully) get more offers after the fair.

I wouldn’t say my university is very elite but Qualcomm, Apple, and Google have all recruited from here in the past, and Qualcomm does have a branch not too far from here, as does apple. I actually don’t have much interest in google since I think that’s mainly a software company.
