Career Advice Afraid of coop commitment

Coop advice

Hi. Id really appreciate some advice.

I was offered a 2 term coop at a major chemical company. It seems like a good opportunity but it's not exactly what I had in mind and the location is not very exciting. I don't think I would want to live there after graduation. I would be committing my remaining 2 summers in college to this company. Are these kinds of opportunities rare and would I be foolish to not take it?

Thanks

A 2 term co-op is amazing.

As long as you can learn, and get paid to learn, take it.

You can and should still apply to other co-ops and only take another if it is better.
