Hello, I am in urgent need of everyone's help.
I am currently doing an internship (summer reasearch at another school). I also work with a professor to do research at my own school.
here is my situation. I worked for my college professor over the summer while taking a summer course. I thought doing more research would be helpful for later so I applied and got this position at another school. And honestly, Im not doing anything productive. and I KNOW I can be spending my time doing something more productive instead of spending nearly 12hours a day here doing nothing (have to wake up at 6 to go to work, then come back home around 6 or 7).
My question is, is doing summer research/internship really necessary? How in depth would they ask about it at interviews? I mean I am already doing plenty of research with my own professor. And if at the interview they ask me, "what kind of research did you do (the one i am doing at another school)?" I dont have anything do say. As of now, this seems to have nothing that is beneficial to me. What do you guys think? I am a rising Junior and I would rather be shadowing a dentist or volunteering somewhere else. Ive been in front of the computer for the past few days...
Sorry for the long post. please tell me your opinions.
