Proposal Title: The SPS Internship Program: Opening Career Pathways
Abstract Type: Poster
Abstract: Ask most students, "What can someone do with a physics degree?" Most answers will be some form of research.  The SPS Internship program helps to open students' eyes to different career opportunities to them after they graduate with a physics degree. From positions in outreach, science writing, history, policy, and more, interns live and work with each other in Washington, DC, applying their skills in ways they have not before.  Walk through the different programs SPS offers and meet a couple of the SPS Interns who have moved onto successful careers that use physics in some not-so-obvious ways.
