*back from my 6+ month break from CD*

There are many internships out there its a matter of knowing people and finding them. And although you want something in your field its better to just do something although others will disagree.

I took a data entry job and came out learning how to query and make databases and presentations and other things. Make it into something you want to do. Do your job, and then some. The following summer I had something from FRC at NASA.

The other thing is be persistent and meet people. My professor once said in class that he'd choose one or two for an internship to do research. Many people laughed it off and said whatever but I went up to him after class every other week reminding him and got an internship because no one else had bothered to ask. It was that simple.

The biggest thing is that I joined a fraternity in college my freshman year. Many senior members and have gotten younger members jobs in CS, Engineering, IT, etc. and on a pretty regular basis send emails about upcoming opportunities.

Pretty much you can get an internship anywhere you just have to look and make something out of things you may or may not be interested in or want to do. But the thing that has helped me the most and that my bosses have loved are my projects here and there because they'll keep your mind fresh and you'll learn something.

Enjoy!
