Great post by @Lindagaf,

Many students even at top schools don’t do internships until after junior year. Mainly because companies are looking to hire.

Definitely use career services and set up interviews for the fall of senior year. Even if you wait, you will have good prospects.

Your father may be coming from some cultural values but he also may not understand how things work at school and for careers. A narrow focus on medicine and law might be evidence of that.

Definitely work this summer, and maybe stay in an apartment with friends or through a service like craigslist.
