Looking for an intern to play with a Linux-powered robot fleet

[Bill Freeman]

"Oh, but first are you experienced?  Have you ever been experienced?"
(Jimi Hendrix, for the young amongst you)

To get good jobs, you need things on your resume.  Before that, unless
you're in a field where you can publish while doing graduate work (it's own
form of internship), you have to take low paying, crummy jobs.  In some
fields they're called interships.  It's the non-paying ones that are real
scams.

The real concern for your son is how the outsourcing trend going to play
out.  You can't live here and compete with those salaries.
