  Internships are crazy nowadays, especially for non-US students. Found a remote contract work at SF startup after more than 50 rejections for intern postions.

  Today's jobs require you to act like a "CPU." Traditional academia teaches you to be the best "hard drive" you can be or in happy cases, an A.I. with one skill.

  This just shows how broken the internship system is. I applied to 50+ internships and got rejected. Then I got offered a job as soon as I graduated. #broken

  I started working at my university as a unix admin part time in high school 30 years ago. One friend in my AP CS class was programming RAID device drivers for OS2 for a local co. Got my internship at 19 that promptly turned into a “full time” job. F/T pay, flex hours. Good times.
