How hands on the experience was- I acquired so much knowledge that I still use to this day.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have been there more often, but my other jobs did not allow for that.
Advice
If you don’t seem to like an internship at first, stick it out. I was unsure of my abilities with the hands on work, and it ended up being one of the best experiences I’ll ever have.
