Hiya!
I am a sophomore at Grand Valley State University in MI (near the town
of Grand Rapids (Letterman's New Home City)) and I was wondering if
anyone out here could help me with a little question.  I am majoring
in Aquatic (Fisheries) Biology.  I am currently just holding a job to
pay for college and pay for my car and anything else.  I was wondering
if anyone out there had any suggestions of further steps I could take
that would look good on a resume'.  I want to work in my feild next
summer and would like to do some odd things around the area while I am
still in school (ie volunteering, etc).  If any of you have any
guidance....no matter how big or small, please reply to my post or
email me personally.  Thanx for your time and potential comments

				Respectfully,
						Jason Yuhas

Jason,

I would suggest finding an internship through Student Conservation
Association or through your State Deparment of Conservation.  Also if you
can find a professor in your field looking for field assistants, hourlies,
or volunteers introduce yourself to them and get to know them.  Make
connections!  This experience will definitely benefit your long term
career goals. In Aquatic Biology (Fisheries) it has been very important in
my personal career to make connections early on in my undergraduate and
graduate years.  This path has ultimately led to reccomendations,
projects, grants, scholarships, and eventually a job right out of graduate
school. E-mail if you have any questions.
