<p>I could get a local job, I just would rather do something in line with my academic interests.
For further information on the internship: The NASA internship is specifically for college-bound seniors and includes a stipend of $5000 for 8-weeks (housing, food, etc.). The acceptance rate is probably around that of the top universities. There are ten spots at each of the ten or so research facilities. I find out April 15.
I guess I’ll have to see. I could definitely work at the local library or Barnes and Noble since they’re within bike-riding distances, but I’m unsure of the working ages.
Thanks for you help! Honestly, I’m very grateful.</p>
