I meant during college. It has become customary to do internships for the last year or two. Summer Internships are exclusive in many fields -- but perhaps more attainable to CS.

Let me point out something that conservative (and I mean in the generic philosophical sense) have a rough time with. Getting a CS Degree is a clever move right now given the current dynamics of the economy. This assumes were talking about someone who likes working in computer science and doesn't have better options. OK, so what?

If lots of people did this... they would be paid less. And then it wouldn't be so fucking clever to be a CS major. This is probably what will happen at some point once Z and the other generation after it start hitting college. Computers are part of everyone's childhood now -- its not going to be as rare and in demand to get a good programing hire.

I come to fucking conservatives all the time with macro problems...and they answer me like I just asked them: "Hey Fash, whats the best move for a kid in a good middle class situation to make it these days.?"

"Oh computer science...fucking lady da. Let's get down to an inner city classroom and get Jammel typing and I'm sure the whole macro problem with wealth distribution we were talking about will just go away."

That is -- if they make it right? Because anyone that can't at least get a fucking CS degree is a piece of shit and waste of money. That is unitil it some other job in 5 years.
