My parents do not like the idea of sending me away to intern as i am still a minor till next month. My educational facilitator gave me a site to look at but it wasnt for interns it was just about what interns do and are not supposed to do. I am doing very well working with my dad for now, its only a 8 week class and im installing security and fire alarms and learning how to program them so that one day i can take over the compony when he retires. It is a random post becuase no one at my school would help me find a internship and was desperately looking as i want to graduate this semester, luckily i was able to work for my parents. Hope this clears stuff up

If you ever write a programming manual please let me know. I have a security system that was here when I bought the house, I'd like to know how the system works. There are extreme variations in the competency of security companies around here, and I don't know enough about the subject to gauge what kind of companies they are.

That is a good idea but im already in 4 weeks of a mandatory 8 weeks so ill probably stay working with my dad and maybe volunteer later.

Did you ask Dustin yet?

If you'd like to work more with wildlife, I would contact the US Fish and Wildlife Service in Carlsbad. I'm still not exactly sure what your career goals are, but the USFWS has a Pathways program that you could get involved in once you get into college. Starting as a volunteer or intern is a great step in the door for a good future job.

You're in a really neat area as far as wildlife jobs go. Lots of wildlife research is conducted all along your coast, especially at Catalina Island and Del Sur Coast up by Monterey. I would definitely give the Monterey Bay Aquarium a call and see what volunteer opportunities they may have in your area (you may be surprised). Same with the USFWS. Sometimes they have projects going on nearby even if their offices are far away.

Ok maybe ill check them out for the future. Goal is to work for hidden eye security and breed reptiles on the side.

I want to thank you for all the work you just now did, you found a site for me (and sent the link via pm) that offers the exact kind of explanations I was seeking.
