Just got an internship paying $18.50/hour!

[JohnCU]

Wow, I never expected this much, but I'm majoring in EE and got an internship at a nuclear power plant in North Carolina. Hope I don't grow an extra thumb, but for this kinda money, it'd be ok. 😉

You folks in Raleigh better hope I don't push any of the wrong buttons. 😀

 

Pull a Homer Simpson to get in good with the guys at the controls.

Yeah, it feels like July right now 🙁 Hot and muggy.

Working in a nuclear power plant? That's awesome! Gratz!

Wow, $18.50 for an internship...congrats! I just hope they don't have you manually moving the rods w/o any protection or something 😉

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

It depends on where the thumb is at.

Not sure yet, another intern I know there is working M-F, 8 hours a day though, so I'm hoping for the same.

Ha..ha...actually, I hope so... 😉

Nah, they didn't give me a dress code yet, but I definitely wouldn't go in there wearing a t-shirt on the first day.

I'll be a junior when I go back in the fall.

That's great. Hopefully you can get another internship after junior year and have two summers of work to put on your resume. Having experience will help you out immensely when you are done with school. And finding an internship that pays that well is icing on the cake.
