Internships are due to begin in less than a week and I still haven’t been able to find a good fit. As I pursue different options, many different considerations are running through my head. Although my long-term goal is to work in government, at the moment, that does not seem to be an option. Alternately, I am exploring small agency work and health care. I am really torn as to which route I should go. The agency work would be a lot of fun, but health care is more closely related to the field in which I want to work.
My biggest concern is what would look best on a resume when I apply for a government position. I understand that both experiences would be extremely valuable, but would the lessons I learn in the health care industry be more applicable to government?
