Manual Labor

May - August 2018 • Hammond, IN

What I liked

Was an interesting experience for anyone who hasn't been out in the wok world, or someone who has only had jobs related to their major. Really brings you closer to the people who aren't in college, and do not have the same opportunities as you.

What I wish was different

For what we did, people have told me that the pay was a little less than it should have been.

Advice

Try working different jobs like this more often, it builds character.

Animal Care Intern

August 2018 • San Bernardino, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed at this internship that I got to interact, feed and observe exoctic animals of different species including white lions, tigers, wolves, raccoons, foxes, coyotes and much more. Many zoos you volunteer at do not allow you to go in the animals cages and interact with animals but at this internship I got the opportunity to be in the cage with a lion, coyotes, wolves and different dog species. Not many people are presented an opportunity to do something as wild as that.

What I wish was different

I honestly would not change a thing and that is why I am still doing this internship and plan to still be a part of this opportunity when the internship has ended.

Advice

If you get the opportunity to follow your passions, take it. Everything else can wait. Because I am interning here I now know what I want to do as a career and that is a zoology. Great things happen when you take risks in life, whether big or small. You have to put yourself outside of your comfort zone if you want to succeed and progress in life.
