im assuming you are graduating in may?

if so, i would go with the internship...it sounds like a pretty cool experience. you can always get a full time job later. once you start a full time job its tough to do things like this again.

do the internship

3/13/2007 2:22:20 PM

internship, cause u wont get a job if you dont have experience...and alaska is nice during the summer.

And you're female, and there's alot of hot single guys in alaska (so I've heard)

I have actually already graduated (Dec).

Yea I am leaning towards the internship just for the "experience".

Jobs suck, get out and enjoy Alaska for a few months while you can. Once you start work you'll wake up in 10 years and hate yourself for not doing something exciting before you started.

haha, coincidently, my dad is pushing for the internship because he says, "I am living vicariously thru you."

he just wants to visit and go fishing! haha

are you kidding? get the internship! what kind of internship is it, anyway?

3/13/2007 2:29:42 PM

Yea, probably something like that..

Internship. That's what I did after I graduated and they hired me on full time several months afterwards.

it is a position that would be helping maintain a historical house in Juneau Alaska. bording is free with a stipend.

I'd be all over that internship if I were you. Working is over-rated. I try and sneak out of the working world every five years and disappear for a few months. Best plan I've ever had. Appalachian Trail, Mississippi River, and something else in a couple of years.

1 vote for internship here

Those things are what get you the jobs in your field down the road anyways.

Pursue all opportunities that are available. If the internship presents itself foremost, take it and enjoy a different view of the world. It will also take away the time factor for the full-time hunt.

Experience will help you a lot more.... then when you're searching for a FT job, you go in w/ more than others trying to get the same positions.
Internship, FTW.

juneau is awesome, i think you would be really glad you took the internship

Experience > Unemployment

Plus Alaska in the summer would be an awesome experience. I'm jealous.

Internship, hands down. Experience leads to a job in your choice profession. Also, if the internship goes well, it may open doors down the road for similar positions with that group.
