Recommended: How stress plays a role for college students

High School Internships When thinking about graduating high school and going into college, do you ever think that you will get a job right when you graduate? Yes that may be the case for some individuals but for the more technical jobs and the ones that require more schooling for, look for student who have experience with their major. It is important to know the different internships that are offered throughout high school and college. Browsing through the Missoula hospitals web pages I found information regarding the different types of job shadowing and volunteer work that they provide. Starting with St. Patrick Hospital web page I found a link leading to the different volunteer work that they have to offer. St. Patrick Hospital’s dedicated volunteers provide support to patients, visitors and staff in a variety of areas throughout the hospital. Some volunteers’ help patients find the department they are looking for or escort patients when they need assistance. Others work in the gift shops and deliver flowers to patient rooms. Volunteers also have the opportunity to help hospital staff with various projects and events at the hospital. Students pursuing degrees in medical fields are invited to volunteer in the Emergency Department, performing administrative duties (“Volunteering” 1). Leading from that I decided to look at and see what Community Medical Center had as far as these opportunities. Usually volunteers are placed in the waiting rooms or in the gift shops. Some are in the cancer resource center, and others are a greeter or escort people to certain areas of the hospital. Volunteering through Community Medical Center students receive many benefits, such as yearly awards, discounts in the cafeteria and gift shop, and a g... ... middle of paper ... ... 2014. N.p., n.d.

  • Returning to College as an Adult

    666 Words  | 2 Pages

    Coming to college as an adult, we have many expectations and preconceptions of what college will or will not be. The expectations we have can influence our college life for the better or the worse. My experience since starting college has been an interesting one. People have misconceptions about college because they do not know what to expect. After doing some research, I have concluded that there are three major factors that are often misunderstood about college life. The first is the financial aspect of college. Second, is the relationship between the professors and students. Third is time management. These three factors play an important role in why people are afraid to go down the path to college.

  • Importance Of Greek Culture

    During the process many college students make the slight mistake of not thinking about their futures. They think about their major and degree, but what happens after college? Many students don’t realize it, but the concept of networking and preparing yourself for the future, is vital for any career. After college there is still much work to be done for students. Many students find themselves lost and struggling after graduation. With a degree and the education, it takes real world experience to become successful in any career. In a survey of 2,001 students or recent graduate’s ages 18 to 24 year olds and 1,000 hiring managers, fewer than two in five hiring managers who had interviewed recent graduates in the past two years found them prepared for a job in their field of study. Those numbers represent today’s college students not networking properly creating a problem for later careers. There are many options for networking in both Greek life and for those who don’t choose that path. For the people debate and oppose Greek life, universities offer large programs to get students out networking. A common networking tool student’s use is the internship process. An internship is a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, and it can be paid or unpaid. This gives students a real look at the workforce and reality of what it is like.

    It seems as though the majority of college students these days aren’t looking to further their education because it’s what they really want, they do it to please their parents, to be accepted by society, or because there’s nothing else for them to do (Bird, 372). These expectations have led to students being unhappy and stressed, and have pushed them into a school or a job that they don’t particularly care for.
