Summary
- Looking for a beginner-level internship over the summer.
- I currently do not know what exactly I want to do as a career, but I hope experience will make that clear.
- I do not currently have a lot of experience working on machinery or tractors, but I am extremely willing to learn and gain that experience.
- Finding an internship or job within driving distance would be preferred, as I live in Northwest CT. Yet, I would be willing to explore housing closer for the right internship.
