Internship Insight
Need some advice on what to do. I am senior and will be graduating this year with a CM degree and I am in my first week as a intern doing field operations. Some background last year I did an internship over the summer doing facilities management. But other than that I have been in residential construction framing houses last couple years. First week has been rough pay is only $20 hr, with 8-9 hour work days, there having me drive to sites 40-60 miles each way with my personal car and from what I understand they will not be covering gas or any reimbursement, it was not mentioned either in the interview that I will be driving this much. I am thinking about quitting I don't think this is for me I always worked on the field hands on and thinking about joining the electrical union. Has anyone had any previous experience like this? Will it negatively affect my career if I quit and try applying for other cm jobs now or in the future? Or is this something I should just tough out and finish the internship. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
