Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation

Etymologist assistant

May - July 2019 • Johnson City, TN

What I liked

Learned a lot about how to identify bugs and use their presence or lack there of to determine water quality. Also, gained insight into the inner workings of government regulation.

What I wish was different

Of course, a paid internship is always better than an unpaid internship!

Advice

Spent all day in creeks and streams picking bugs up and crayfish. If you don’t like insects or being outside... this isn’t the internship for you.
