Civil Engineering Undergrad here, question about summer internships.
(OP)
Hey, y'all. I'm new to this space, and am looking for some education/career advice. I'm a sophomore level undergrad and have two options this summer for internships. I'm having trouble deciding which one I should choose, and assessing which one will give me the most benefit on my path.
The first is a mostly clerical internship with the city (San Francisco) public utilities commission. I'd be supporting the project management team, sitting in on meeting and maybe helping with some reports.
The second is a bio research internship at the state university, where I'd learn research methodology, and presentation, and gain lab skills working with yeast and zebra fish.
Both are paid.
What do you think?

My goal is to work in waste water treatment, which is why I thought the bio internship would be valuable. Also, in terms of gaining experience in research.

For that reason, I would recommend that you go where you would make the most money and be least inconvenienced.
Your experience will be learning how business/government functions.
