Nowadays it's not what you know but who you know (but knowing is still important too.) I'm extremely thankful for the connections I made made through this one the distinguished doctors who doesn't let people have vacations after their dad dies, and gives old pizza to his co-workers... is buying fresh pizza for my presentation. As my mentor puts it: "WHOA You're on the fresh pizza level!" I've made a contact with a scientist and I have opportunities through my mom's patients.
The experience of being able to be in a work environment and being able to work in a lab is amazing. I appreciate my mentor being incredibly nice and supportive, although now I don't want to be a programmer I do know a few skills I can take and use in other applications. Being a programmer is a very tedious and painstaking process and sometimes you're not appreciated as much as you deserve to be. But My skills as an IT are very much applicable to everyday life assuming you are in contact with people and a computer is around.
