I'm majoring in Computer Science. When should I try to find internships? Is it hard to get one?

I'm majoring in computer science and I feel like I've been doing well so far. I definitely want to expand on my knowledge through an internship but I'm afraid that I won't have enough experience to even be considered. I know most people tend to apply for internships in their junior or senior...

Are jobs in science really decreasing, and if so, is it still a good idea to go into them if you're dedicated enough?

I've heard conflicting statements about this. Some people have told me that pure science fields (not engineering, just research etc) are getting harder to find jobs in. Is this true? #science #biology #jobs #research #chemistry #job-market

Is there still gender bias towards women in science fields? If so, how would you suggest we overcome this?

I am a high school senior and am planning to study biochemistry in college in hopes of becoming a medical researcher on human diseases and cures. When I look at scientific fields, it still looks like the majority of them are male-dominant. #doctor #engineer #medicine #researcher #female

For those that have gone into the field of software development, what would you say is one of the most interesting programs you've created?

I've always been into coding and plan to go into the field of computer science when I'm in college. I find it interesting when people tell me all the amazing things they were able to create with their knowledge of different coding languages. #technology #computer-software

What is one thing that you think engineering students should develop/begin to develop during their time in undergrad?

I ask because I don't have a flexible 4/5 year plan for the courses I need to take to graduate. Some things I have been told are: learn public speaking, learn language, learn CAD, and learn something completely different for engineering. #engineering
