Internship /Self-Development Help

[MongooseMan]

Yes, if you were cut off from the rest of the world and never had internet, ever. However, we do have nice resources these days wouldn't you say?

Plus, each company I've worked for in the past had their own set of coding standards that slightly (or not so slightly) changes from company to company. Being online has helped me tons in terms of developing good standards and coding practices.

And this guy has a varsity degree right? So we're not talking a complete n00b. But let's assume he's entirely useless and didn't learn anything on varsity level, the difference determination and focus can make vs being lazy and just wanting money to program (badly) is huge

From my experience, I think you're over-estimating the average university graduate.

I might be, but I've had the pleasure to work with 2 individuals we hired way back when I still worked for this small consulting company. The one guy now owns the company. So... you get smart ones you can just say "go" and with a little guidance, do wonderful things

Are internships usually paid or unpaid?

Usually paid. When the student is desperate (or really motivated ) there are unpaid situations I've heard of. It's more like shadowing then IMO.

Yeah, my first internship basically covered living expenses only (and just only)

my second and third internships paid almost market related salaries.

Thanks guys, contacted a local company and they said they sometimes have undergrads come in, not sure if they pay though, will ask some more companies and see what gets offered closer to the time.
