Inorganic Chemical Technician
May - August 2019 • Athens, OH
What I liked
I loved working a regular 9 to 5 job so I could get an idea as to what my future career would look like. I got to work alongside graduate students and see their experiences with graduate school and it's stresses. It also allowed me a great networking opportunity to get to know my researching professor better as well as add to my research experience.
What I wish was different
I wish the program would've been a full summer experience in stead of a 10-week program. I felt like I never settled into a routine and if this was offered for the full summer, I would've felt more comfortable over all.
Advice
If I had to share one thing, I would say do it. It was an amazing opportunity to network with university faculty as well as build your research experience outside of school which is nearly impossible for an undergraduate student to accomplish.
