Question by Tari17: Help, Anyone know of any internships for a high school student that will be going to college in the fall?
Help, I am really trying to find an internship, preferably in the Houston, Texas area? I am a hard worker, intelligent, and very dedicated. I would prefer a paid internship this summer because I know the value of internships over other jobs. Also, are there any helpful websites to find internships? Any employers needing an intern in Houston, Texas or any where close by? Thanks, I appreciate any feedback.

Most internships are for college juniors and seniors. Some allow freshman and sophomore interns. As far as a student who hasn’t earned any college credits yet, I doubt you’ll find one the traditional way. What exactly are you planning on majoring in? Send me a message and I’ll try to give you a little advice on a route to go. But it involves you going directly to an employer and “selling” yourself to them by explaining your situation and how eager you are to gain experience. You will more than likely end up with an unpaid internship considering your situation, but it never helps to try. Unpaid experience is better than no experience at all, because employers nowadays expect college graduates to have experience.
