Comment on Ask HN: Should I be looking for an internship or a job?

Comments

If I were you, I'd be launching my startup. But then you'd be me, and you wouldn't know what to do about the monkeys, and what would be the point of anything, then?

Id rather have the security of having some sort of job placement or something that puts me leaps and bounds above other job applicants to any company I wish to work for. There's always time for side projects on the weekend.

This is one of the perfect times to try something on your own (the other being when you have sufficient funds to fall back on) when you have little to no obligations. Even if you fail, it will look good on your resume assuming you actually try. You'll learn more than in any single position and will have a story to tell during your interviews.You have the rest of your life to work for a company.

But with the mindset you seem to be portraying, you may not be the best candidate to try something like this.

Well between rent and car insurance I need some money, as I don't want to go an ask for help from my parents(I'm 22).
