[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has hired a lot of interns, internships are helpful if for no other reason then a college kid is not blindsided by the 9-5 (even in today's telework world) of an actual job. The difference between kids who worked or had an internship of any kind, related or not the eventual job, is very noticeable compared to kids whose parents told them school was their job.[/quote] I hate to burst your bubble but my experience is opposite. I studied CS in college and it was hell for me. When I graduated in 2010 and got my first job in cyber security, it was so much easier than college. I couldn't believe they paid me 100K+ to do this job. I had to stay up so many nights in college to finish CS projects. I didn't have to spend anytime after 5pm for my work. Even now as a SME in cyber security for DHS, I stop working after 3:30pm and get paid 290K/year.[/quote]
