Its not too early to think about summer 2011. Where will you be? Many organizations are accepting applications for internships for next summer. Some have December 2010 and January 2011 deadlines.

If you don't see something that fits your interests or your geography, identify organizations or companies that do and then check out their websites for internship information.

Just like real world jobs, internships are often very competitive. Explore early and apply early!
