[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;42094380]Whenever I hear/see the word 'internship' I think of coffee runs and photocopying papers.[/QUOTE]
It's different for every place in private sector, but in government work an intern basically does the same stuff a staff employee does, just for a limited period of time. It's very useful, practical experience.
Also, legally speaking, a company cannot use an unpaid intern to do work that they would normally pay for. The 'coffee bitch' image is more the minority.
More importantly, an internship is a job that doesn't require prior experience, but provides practical experience. It's a job you can get before graduating, that will give relevant experience, references, or even a job offer after graduation. A lot of people don't seem to pursue internships while in college and that's a [i]huge[/i] mistake IMO.
my big dealio is that i plan on working in federal law enforcement agencies once i get my schooling done so it's definitely something of a more difficult thing to find internship programs

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;42082407]I'll just wait until next week when all the clubs set up booths somewhere on campus, even though I have literally no reason to go where they set up this semester because I have no classes in that building.[/QUOTE]
the fuck is your problem. EVERY DAMN THING WITH YOU IS "I HAVE NO REASON"
FOR FUCKS SAKE
Self pity gets you no where. I learned that the hard way. I was convinced, back when I moved around a lot, that there was "literally no reason" to make friends since I would move soon anyways
but that was lonely and sad. so one day I decided I had enough of it and tried to make friends and socialize. and yeah, over the years I blundered and made a fool of myself socially and got shut down a few times. It sucked but I learned from it because I bucked up and did it
I mean, I came to my highschool of over 2000 students and knew [I]one[/I] person and had no classes with him nor did I see him at lunch. I sat alone in a corner for the first week and damn near cried after every day when my parents picked me up. it sucked. But, I tried to talk with people, got my schedule rearranged to be with my new friends and my old friend, and now I know a fair portion of my whole class and get along great with just about all of them
Join clubs, and for FUCKS SAKE stop saying there is literally no reason. There is a reason. I had mine. Find yours.
I want to see you succeed really damn bad but your "oh me, pity me, I'm so sad" and "literally no reason" shit is getting old. I really really want to see you do well Taep, and I'm putting myself out there and telling a personal story (that my irl friends on fp can see) so I want you to go put in some effort and put yourself out there. There will be some bumps along the way but in the end you will be a better man and human being for it
edit: fuck it, it was 3 years ago. I actually just about bawled my eyes out the first day of high school because no one talked to me and no one offered to help me. I was completely and utter alone. I begged my parents to let me skip a day or something. it blew. I've been there, had the same thoughts as you, but let me tell you from experience thoughts of self pity will stop you in your tracks before you even get moving. Please, join a club or try to socialize. It doesn't even have to be conversation, simply saying "hey" and "whats up" or "good [time of day]" to people will get your foot in the door so to speak.
second edit: Sorry people were a dick to you in that thread Skea. Yeah, you're a brony, I don't really understand it, but I'm not going to insult you over it because you've proven you're a pretty stand up guy and I don't want to judge people based on what they like. I would hate if people did the same to me based on some preconceptions of a few retards in a fandom
IMO Skeea could be a tooth fairy for all I care; he's a Kiowa man and he's cool in my book.

The FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, FEMA, and a few others all have internship programs.
[I]Extremely[/I] competitive internship programs too. Most start at $40-50k, with a raise after each 3-month tour. If you get an internship with an intelligence agency (FBI included) you get the same security clearance as a full employee, which looks badass on a resume and basically guarantees a job after you graduate. Something like 80% of interns end up getting hired full-time by their parent agency. I'd definitely suggest applying.
SS has one too with security clearance.
too bad I would have to move to Ottawa most likely to get a CSIS internship if they even do that. RCMP I could probably get something local though.
I was in an "apprenticeship" program at Pfizer, which is essentially a paid internship combined with a college course.
Being able to work along side permanent staff doing the exact same things as them and learning the same skills early on without having to get a degree first was extremely handy and will definitely help you on later in life. Unfortunately the site closed down but I was pretty much assured a position there once the program there was over.
do it
Mid Summer I was saying it'll be nice when it's Fall and getting cold.
It's starting to get cold and I hate it, I want it to be warm again.
Fuck everything.
I've been displaced from my entire fucking dorm building by obnoxious and loud drunks and awful dubstep that literally sounds like a dial-up modem. This better not happen every weekend.
[QUOTE=Tark;42084194]Girlfriend? Legitimately curious as to how you came upon that idea, yeah I'm full on homo. I live in the cold, northern cousin of Texas some people call Montana so being gay is just a barrel of fun here![/QUOTE]
I keep replying to comments a page too late but I'll do it anyways
I live in eastern Washington, so I understand your feelings! Homophobia is my least favorite thing and I've put my head on the line in this area a few times supporting it.
But jesus christ you're right Montana is just a colder Texas in several ways. Whereabouts in Montana are you?

South a ways of Missoula, which is really close to Idaho. I'm around 4 hours from Spokane (which is an awesome city), and I go through south/central/eastern Washington often enough to say it's right up there in my favorite states.

No they can go ahead, I just left because it was annoying. I wish I wasn't the only person in this whole fucking school who didn't think that was fun though.
[editline]6th September 2013[/editline]
I'll just go talk to the quiet nerdy looking girls who sit in the back of my classes, they probably don't like that either and are just as frustrated about not having fun as I am.

I just watched a trailer for the Robocop remake.
lol
that is all I have to say
[QUOTE=Northy66;42107027]And this be for gaming correct?[/QUOTE]
Yes. And general purposes.
I had an IFAP related dream last night.
Wulf, Rabies, and Fish were all at my house. We were planning to go to some big milsim event that was the next day, so in the meantime we were playing Mario Party. It was getting heated, and eventually Rabies walked out. Wulf, Fish, and I were all trying to convince him to come back, but he wouldn't. Then a bunch of Amish people started to attack my house. We were struggling to keep them all back because there were so many. All of a sudden, a Camaro drifts around the corner. Shotguns pop out of the headlights and start mowing down the Amish people. Once the attack is repelled, we all start to play Mario Party again.
i thought that when the camaro came it was going to be foos
