Section 5.0 - Internship Value
I greatly appreciate JMU's support for the internship program and I am thankful to Booz | Allen | Hamilton and Northrop Grumman for taking a risk on hiring students. My internships have been invaluable. In fact, it was my first internship that became the deciding factor for me to continue to pursue a degree in computer science. The work I was doing in my internship seemed to give me a sense of purpose and personal satisfaction. Today, I can't imagine working in any other field. It has made me a much stronger person and far more self-reliant. The world of software engineering is never dull; it is full of new technologies to explore and constant challenges to overcome.
