Internships

Many large and small companies, government agencies, and non profit organizations offer internships to college students.  Some offer summer work opportunities for high school students too.  Within the field of engineering, these work experiences are considered vital to the education process and many schools have structured internships or coop programs built in to the curriculum.  Whatever path you choose, having an opportunity to work -- even for a little while -- in the field will help you determine if you like the work and if it is really the career path you wish to pursue.  In addition, often an internship will lead to a job offer post graduation.
