What I wish was different
Not have a cap at 25 hours.

Not enough people know about jobs on campus, explore the possibilities. It's a great opportunity to work and study.

IT Intern
August 2017 - June 2019 • Pocatello, ID
What I liked
I learned so much more than if I hadn't had an internship. Classes do not have time to teach a lot of the things you'll face in the real world. My internship filled that gap. I would not be where I am today without the experience I've gained working as an IT intern.
What I wish was different
I do wish there had been a little more structure to my internship. I had free reign most of the time, which worked out because I am a self-motivator. But not everyone is that way.
Advice
If you are hesitant to quit your job and take on an internship, take the internship. The money may not be as good as your job, but the experience gained is invaluable.

Maintenance Craftsman
August 2018 • Pocatello, ID
What I liked
The flexibility is top-notch for a full-time student. You can work up to 20 hours a week during the Fall and Spring semesters and up to 40 in the summer. It's a work-study program so all of the income you generate in nontaxable so long as you don't work more than 20 hours in a week.
What I wish was different
I wish that the housing department had a central location to store all of their tools/supplies.
Advice
Work hard and you earn the respect of your superiors. This will help when you want an increase in wages.

Teacher's Assistant
June 2017 - July 2019 • Pocatello, ID
What I liked
The position I held was closer to an assistant instructor. I love being able to teach people, especially when they can look at a problem and see that they now have enough of an understanding to complete it on their own.
What I wish was different
It was only a part-time job and it is only available during the summer. It would have been nice if there was enough funding for it to be a full-time position.
Advice
Sometimes having the experience of the job is worth more than the pay you get, though having good pay and experience would probably be best, the experience is more than worth it.
