How important is to find an internship as a high schooler specifically in the field of your intended major?

My career goal is to be a biomedical researcher in the immunogenetics field, but I was wondering if it finding an internship at another research field, for example oncology or genetics, would still be helpful to me. #science #biology #research #biomedical-engineering #biomedical #biomedical-science

I think it depends on the specific area you want to go into. However, it will give you experience, important hands on experience that will help you later. Nowadays job experience is very important, not just the degree.


If you do this at a younger age, you can also test out this career to see if it is something you REALLY want to do as well.


I think it is a great

I tend to answer, it's important to learn the skills that go behind acquiring the information. In the end, data mining whether its mining of biomedical data or data from a pharmaceutical company is similar. Once you know the skills, they are portable.
