    I need advice.

    So at the end of the year seniors go on internships for about six weeks. Students can essentially choose their internship by talking to sponsors and organizations ect. The form for the internship choice is due in about two weeks.

    One option for me is to go intern at my uncle’s software company in DC. In college, I’m planning on double majoring in Math and CompSci, so this will be extremely useful for my career in the future. This kind of thing is also very important for graduate school admissions and I’m confident I could do impressive work at the internship and receive a fine recommendation.

    The other option is to intern with some professional musicians in NYC. Music is my greatest passion, and I feel like this could be a musical renaissance for me, a once in a lifetime opportunity. My orchestra teacher tells me I should publish a book with my compositions/arrangements—this could open up the door for me to do that. But it won’t help me in college and what I want to study professionally.

    Anyone have any ideas?

      Oh geez, that's a hard choice. As someone who also loves music and math both... yeah that's tough.

      One thing you could do is weigh how much the software internship would help your college (something you've probably done a million times, now that I say this out loud :P) but if it's an amount that is 'minimal' (in quotes, because any amount is good) then maybe go with the once in a lifetime opportunity. But there have to be so many variables that I don't know about.

      And... pray, is what I would say. Cause I believe God will direct your choices, and that you can figure out which one you 'should' do.

      And should is quotes because seriously, there's not really a wrong choice here if you know what I mean :P Two awesome opportunities that will take you far no matter which you choose, and I wish you good luck in whatever endeavor that is :)

      What Ookla the Tall said. I can't offer any advice besides restating that.
