3 semester co-op?? Need Advice...
Ok, I need some advice here. I'm a comp. eng. major with 59 hours of cpe classes remaining after this semester. I have planned of taking classes every summer until I was finished and I've signed up for 9 hours this summer. I talked to a co-op official today and she was trying to sign me up for a co-op schedule that would have me alternating school and work semesters. While I'm in the program, I would acquire my security clearance. At the current time, I honestly don't think I'm ready to handle a 40h work week an top of taking a class. I think it would hurt my GPA in the long haul. (currently a 3.9) Obviously, I still have more time to try to get a summer internship somewhere before I graduate but, by doing this i would not be getting a security clearance or as much experience as the co-op students. (I currently have ZERO relevant experience)
My question is, if I took the 1 summer inter route, how hard would it make my job hunt after college??
Thanks in advance
