<p>okay so I got two internships lined up for a program that runs at my school which allows me to do an educational internship. One is at Columbia U in the biomedical wing with this grad student who is lyk super smart and said he could write me an excellent rec. Considering he is affiliated with JHU and Columbia I do not doubt it. The prob is that I hate the internship as he is making me learn matlab and with no prior programming exp. it just sucks. Also I HATE PROGRAMMING! </p>
<p>The other internship is with the former mayor of my town who just happens to be a top notch immigration lawyer. He has not said anything about a rec but has said that the internship will show me the shoes of a lawyer and it will not include filing or other grunt work. </p>
<p>Question is which one do i do. I do not know what I want be in the future but my resume does point to a medical and engineering fusion if that makes any sense. I would really like a new experience with the law internship but is it worth it to sacrifice the great rec from a super smart grad student? HELPPPPP</p>
