As a Summer Intern, I worked mapping streams and learning how to do field work associated with government projects. I liked the hands on opportunity that I received and how much I learned in and out of the office.
What I wish was different
I wish that we got exposed to more written work dealing with policy.
Advice
Be prepared for all types of weather conditions, especially if you know you will be out of the office and in the field.

What I liked
I liked talking to my coworkers a lot. A decent amount of them were close enough to my age that i could relate to them, and we got along pretty well over our work.
What I wish was different
I wish i was able to talk to those in charge of the servers more, and tried to get more experience with those. Now that I'm taking a databases course I'm more interested in databases and servers than i was before the summer started.
Advice
Specifically working at the courthouse, the average age of people is around 40-50 years old. Many people are inexperienced with computers so you run into very random issues because someone clicked something they're not supposed to.
