I'm a sophomore at Morgan State University. I major in computer science, and have a 3.25 GPA. I recently went to this huge engineer conference where I got a chance to network with IT-related businesses. It was a great experience, and got a ton of offers for summer internships.

Lockheed Martin - Govt defense
Indian head Warfare base (if uve seen Future Weapons, they make this (http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1281426.html) ) - Defense
Ratheon - IT company
Northrop Grumman
Siemens
IBM
Dept of Homeland Security - Coast Guard


I even got a called back on doing the co-op program with the NSA. They sponsor you for a top secret clearance. You take a semester off for school, and they pay you $27-36K for the semester you work there. After doing the program, and upon graduation, you make $52-68K.

basically, I was wondering if anyone else has ever done an internship? how was it? And which would you choose?
