Getting a start through internships Getting a start through internships As a geoscience student at Chadron State College, you will have opportunities to get job experience in your field before you graduate. Internships provide employment, usually during the summer, that will give you an introduction to a field, and may offer continued employment after graduation.
Some interns are volunteers, but most earn wages.
There are many other opportunities available in the fields of groundwater and oil and gas exploration, and in state and federal government agencies and non-profit organizations. Your geoscience advisor will work with you to help find an internship that suits your career plans. More information on internships in the environmental fields is available on the website of the Environmental Career Center.
