[ale] Internship

[Lightner, Jeff]

Also looking for jobs that are at odd hours is a good way to get
experience.   When I made the switch from Accounting/Management to full
time IT 20 years ago I had to take an entry level job working nights.
In less than a year I was on days and by the time I left 5 years later
I'd been promoted twice (and could have moved faster than that but
resisted promotions that required me to wear a pager - nowadays most
Admins have cell phones so everyone can get "paged").   If you're
actually intelligent you can move up quickly in IT.  On my next job I
got promoted twice in the first 2 years.

There is also great experience to be had in development or QA teams,
or better yet if there's a lab administration team for a development
organization.  I'm just saying these so you can broaden your search.

But almost anywhere that has computers doing one thing and they need
them to do another different thing will give good Linux and problem
solving experience far beyond what the classroom can.
