I think I had a good internship also. I was pretty clear when I came in for an interview that I wanted to do more than label artifacts (which I ended up doing a little bit, but it wasn't the bulk of my experience) and that, indeed, I could give them substantially more than just manual labor. I had a great supervisor, too. Maybe this is a common thread to good internship experiences. (By the way, an internship is a requirement in my program and most are of the unpaid, no stipend type) 2 cents, Paula Johnson U of Washington Museology Grad Student
