:word: It’s kind of funny to think about. The spring of my junior year I sent my resume to every single place I could find that had so much as an HR email address online. I ended up getting interest from some random place I had never heard of (OGSI). Got the internship, worked 3 sessions, got hired after school, worked 2 years, got a ton of experience in a niche technology, and now I’m at Praxair making a decent paycheck despite my shitty undergrad GPA, and getting my MBA paid for. :headbang:

Get work experience. Somewhere. Anywhere. Do it for free if you have to.
