AI Thread Summary
Physics undergraduates seeking field-related jobs during holidays can explore internship opportunities, often referred to as co-op programs. Many educational institutions provide resources and connections for students to find internships, which can be a valuable way to gain experience and assess capabilities in a professional setting. While it may seem challenging for undergraduates to secure positions, internships are specifically designed for students and can be a great starting point.
