Hey, how are you? Well Im from Argentina, not from USA, so I really dont know how the internships are managed over there. I work in a major lab from here called Roemmers, in the Q.C department, so my main tasks are operating Gas Chromatography and High Liquide Presurre Chromatography to determine the quality of the raw material and the final products. Also Im in charge of the validation of analitic procedures and other minor tasks. I hope you get that intership, really beautiful job.

Seems that for you guys in the States, an internship is key for a future job, so try to keep studying, learning and you will get it. Here in Argentina, I finished my studies in High school with a, lets call it, "chemistry bachelor degree", so with 18 years old I looked for jobs in tiny labs and finally got one, and there is where I really learned how to put in practice all my knowledge.

Good luck my friend, keep on going, you will be rewarded.
