Is an internship with NASA worth it?

It is a great honor to be offered the NASA internship. Where will you live? Is there any housing subsidy? My S did a NASA internship for 10 or 12 weeks after his JR year of college in Electrical Engineering. He had to live in Newport News, VA and rent an apartment there. He did find it interesting and worthwhile and it counted toward his job experience when he interviewed for jobs. They credited that summer as a year of work experience.

If you and your family can afford it, I think it’s a great opportunity and would encourage you to carefully consider accepting. You can do volunteer community service before and after your internship. Most volunteer positions are pretty flexible and just happy to have you.
