How do I find a worthwhile internship experience that isn just busy work?
To ensure that your internship includes responsibility and substantial work assignments, first pick a site that you feel enthusiastic about. Take initiative for what you want to learn and negotiate a learning contract with your site supervisor to formalize your commitment to that learning. Monitor the contract throughout your internship. (But remember, some support tasks such as filing, faxing, etc.
