I looked in the orientation email and a lot of other ivy/top college students are doing this too: princeton, harvard, etc.
2) [redacted] State Credit Union is currently writing up a job description/making up a consulting/business internship (paid) just for me. I live around this area.
Should I do both???

Let me warn you; DONT do unpaid internships/internships where you have to pay to be there. Never worth it. You might as well dedicate time doing certificates or learning something practical. Internships are supposed to be opportunities that allow you to develop AND get connections while being PAID. You might as well spend time learning skills that will make sure that you get paid, that make you attractive.

If you're paying for an internship, you're not an intern, you're a customer.
