Re: How was your Very First Internship?
Back in 1999 I got my first internship under United Technologies HSSSI working in project engineering for the space station. They had a huge project for me when I got there, and while it was a lot to accomplish, and mostly excel work, I had good mentors and got introduced to a lot of the right people. While it wasnt a ton of engineering (more organization/management), that was ok only being a college freshman. And it definitely paved the way for my next two internships.
It really does depend on the company and the group that you get into though. I had a lot of friends who didnt get great jobs, and didnt learn much. I do think they might have been able to push for something better in most cases. The biggest thing is to communicate with your mangers if you want more challenging work. Most of the time they will listen!
