AI Thread Summary
Continuing a job on campus in an electrical engineering research lab offers valuable experience, but pursuing an internship this summer is recommended. Internships provide industry connections and practical experience that can enhance job prospects after graduation. Balancing both experiences can be beneficial, but focusing on an internship before graduation is particularly advantageous for building a professional network and gaining insights into the industry.

I'm currently having a job on campus which relates to my major (electrical engineering, working in electronic research lab).

Should I continue work here or try to find an internship for this summer? I always have job on campus, thus, I never have any internship before. I really don't know internship or job on campus better. Could anyone give me some ideas which I should do for this summer. This summer is the last summer before I graduate.

Thank you.

Doing an internship would better before you leave. In this way when you leave, you will have your research lab experience and also industry connections and experience through your internship, which is really an invaluable resource.

This is especially true if you are looking for a job after graduation.
 
Thank you very much for your comment. I'm appreciated.
