I attended a school with a very strong and well known coop program. Four months in class followed by four months working and an 8 month term at the end. Took an extra year but well worth it. A lot of guys focused on getting jobs that paid well or had a good location. I focused on jobs that would give excellent experience but did not pay high wages. The experience I gained was priceless and carried me well through my 35 years of design. Four terms spent in an RF (radio frequency) circuit design lab working with skilled designers and test equipment that was not even available on campus. Another two terms designing analog integrated circuits that gave me an understanding of circuit design that I used throughout my career. You can’t get that sort of learning in a lecture.
