It is nearly impossible to get a job with a Degree in Engineering Physics today, and finding an Internship / Research opportunity is not going to be any easier. You can try going to your local University and ask around for such positions this might help for starters. I wish the best of luck for you.

My good friend whom is a Undergraduate from UCSB in Engineering Physics the only research I see him doing now is bagging customers items at Walmart from 9 to 5. He's so much in debt that he couldn't even afford to continue his Education in Grad school. Talking about a tough life.

But this is in America, I don't know much about other countries though. :shy:

I don't buy this. Why would it be harder to get a job with a degree in Engineering Physics than, say Art History?

I will believe that students with an EP degree suffer from the problem of the degree being neither fish nor foul - jobs in engineering would be going to people with the appropriate engineering degree, and graduate positions in physics would be going to people with physics degrees. But I don't believe it's 'nearly impossible to find a job'. Do you have any statistics that shows that the unemployment rate of new EP grads is, say, above 85 or 90%?

As far as the OP, your academic advisor is a good place to start. Another good place to start is the bulletin board in your department - in most universities, it's covered with posters for various programs.
