Compared to school...it's very different. High school, at least HTHI, is very social. We're constantly talking to each other about random things and collaborating with each other on projects. We see our friends every day. We're surrounded by people who are all the same age as us (except the teachers and staff). In the workplace, it's not as social and everyone is a different age. The workday is longer, but not as long as certain days I have on the robotics team. Adults aren't involved in extracurriculars, which I knew but didn't really realize. In terms of stress, I'd say it's the same level. Everyone is responsible for a variety of things and some of them just get picked up even if they're not part of the job description. As a student, my responsibilities are straightforward. Learn, balance my extracurriculars and school, and be responsible for my role in projects. It's harder to manage my own time for six hours without a set schedule.
Internship has shown me a variety of jobs/careers in a short period of time. I don't know what I want to do but I do know what kind of environment I want to work in.
