I have been in this internship program for about a little less than a week. I was hoping to gain some real-life experience in an environment with other programmers (I am a computer science intern). So far though, I have just been making updates on a WordPress website and doing graphic design. Even though I did ask during the interview: "What were the responsibilities of the other interns" this wasn't what I was expecting. My mentor seems almost clueless, whenever I ask him a question he usually redirects me to another person. They haven't told me how to clock-in and clock-out on the day I started, even if I asked (I realized another intern was doing it). So yeah. I just feel like I am in a mess. I was also offered a Computer Science tutoring job prior to this, which I turned down, and now I'm regretting this internship because I'm not getting the experience I need.



Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
