Internships are out there (Score 1)

Contrary to popular belief there are internships still out there. In the past two years I have interned at Compaq, Verizon, and Intel. In addition, I have been offered internships at GE and Raytheon. Now, the key is, is to be willing to travel, most of the companies I listed were glad to help setting up housing and/or help paying for it. So, don't give up, you just have to look harder. It also helps to be able to do an intership for more than just the summer. At Intel it is much easier to get an internship if you are available for 6 - 7 months.
