I got my engineering degree at a college with a coop program. I learned what type of company I wouldn’t want to work for and where I’d be happy. Spent 4 years with the best company that I’d worked for in college and then moved up to another company and a better position.

Do they have chicken wire? You might want to apply with Kramerica! :-)

One of my kids just got his Astronautical Engineering degree. He went to a very small, private geek school with no nonsense classes of politically correct indoctrination.

He got his college job at NASA with a contractor when the mission director told another student he had an opening and wanted a student from my son’s school. She went to a professor, he suggested my son and another student and my son won the position.

Nice thing was, it wasn’t just co-op or internship. it was an actual long term, benefits paying college job. He earned enough to cover his last 18 months of college and parlayed it into a better job on a different mission. The mission Director put in a good word for him.

One of my daughters had a dream career mapped out with a particular organization in an extremely limited field. She was blessed to get a short term internship with that organization, loved what she did but realized it wasn’t for her long term. That’s the beauty of good internships.
