How have you guys seen your internships influence your career? I'm about to start my third internship, which I got from being connect to my last internship, which I discovered from my internship before that. Hopefully this cycle eventually becomes a career.

The first two helped me decide I didn't want to do that work. The last one led directly to my current job, which I've been in for 7 years.
I heard from lots of my fellow students that they weren't going to take any internships, or that they had taken one and it was a waste of time. I never found it to be a waste of time -- better to learn what you DON'T like before you're committed to that job, and without interning I wouldn't have ended up in my current (7 years so far) career.
So my advice to students debating interning -- do it. Do it often. Take advantage of the experience and connections you get from them. They're more useful than any course you might take instead.
