As a first year at university, it's never too early to begin thinking about internships. A good internship can help provide valuable contacts in your professional field of choice as well as incredibly important experience. A bad internship, on the other hand, can change the direction of your life, encourage a different set of plans and goals, or lead to a new area of study even while you are still at school.

Finding an internship can be challenging enough, but finding a good one, where you aren't hidden away in a corner with a copier and coffeepot can be even more challenging still. These days, interns are treated with much more respect, and offered more engaging tasks, than they were even a few years ago but the potential for cheap or even free labor for the company can lead to some pretty boring or useless internships for you.
