Don't fall for Gcreeks offer. He started out as an intern for Deb and has never left. If an actual intern was to show up, he'd quit doing the tiny bit he really does do! On that note, i could use an intern to dig post holes. Easy digging out here and it never gets hot and it rains so much we dont have to irrigate. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: Maybe you better try Canada, cause i can't even type that and keep a straight face. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Per is the one here that knows about Heartland. It's my favorite show...
Your firefighting experience sounds good, but our scenery doesn't hold
a candle to Canada.
Good luck to both of you!!

Whats the difference between a summer job and an internship?

Probably a few thousand dollars. :wink:
Most of the time if you get a job you are supposed to know how to do it and you get paid for your work.
With an internship it is assumed you lack knowledge and or experience and thus you will be paid much less or nothing and your reward is supposed to be the knowledge and skills you acquire making you more valuable in the future.
I feel if it is done right it can be good for both but many times the "employer" is looking for slave labor and puts forth little effort toward the training and just leaves the intern doing menial work for free.
I think I was an intern in USMC boot camp. Very little pay but I received great training that has allowed me to be more successful for the rest of my life.

George, I think you nailed it. I know lots of ranches that take interns and some of them would be great experiences others I would stay away from.
If you guys are interested in coming to the Sandhills of Nebraska I can give you several contacts that take interns or know how to find a quality employer that is interested in your education. Good luck to you and remember to interview the employer as well, most of the time it will tell you if you are going to have an opportunity to learn more about management or if you are just going to be grunt labor. Remember there is no advantage of interning if you are not learning, you can find a summer job that pays anywhere. Just my two cents.

We pay on experience.... You can call it what you want...Both our kids who helped us the last two years and one four, did interships.. But it didn't make a bit of difference in pay.... Our goal is bring a postive out look to ranching and farming.. Hopfully this will help them make the discision to stay in the ag related fields.... I love talking to the professors....

I never worked for nothing and I wouldn't expect anyone else to. As long as a worker is willing to learn and do jobs that I feel they are capable of without me standing over them they would recieve a fair wage.
Too many on both sides of the coin expect something for nothing.
