Jobs Before Grad School
Jobs Before Grad School
Hey guys,
Is anyone planning to do work this summer before starting grad school in the fall? What kind of work will you be doing?
I think I want to work at least part time but I know it's already pretty late to start thinking about this. And now that I'm done being an undergrad I know that a lot of opportunities I would be interested in (like REUs, research at my undergrad institution, etc.) are longer really available to me. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I managed to get an official 6 months research internship at a top tier department - hoping to make contacts and perhaps even a paper. This was by emailing professors directly to ask, so perhaps you can try that.ajrasmus wrote:Hey guys,

I am thinking about the same stuff, too.
I tried REU, but since I am graduating, there are only like 3 or 4 schools I can apply.
I tried to find an intern, same reason, company doesn't like me.
So hard

There are always minimum wage style jobs!
Re: Jobs Before Grad School
I've thought about that as well. I've had research jobs since high school though. It would be so weird going back to a job scooping ice cream over the summer.winterman62 wrote:There are always minimum wage style jobs!

Re: Jobs Before Grad School
You should look into some teaching jobs. There's lots of SAT-prep style jobs you can get, and they will be good practice for TAing. Plus most of them don't require any experience teaching, and they pay fairly well.
