Here's is why you go to Y Comb. If your parents can't understand this then ignore them. Sometimes "smart" skips a generation. The only internship worth more would be a congressional one.
"Because we fund such large numbers of startups, Y Combinator has a huge "alumni" network, and there's a strong ethos of helping out fellow YC founders. So whatever your problem, whether you need beta testers, a place to stay in another city, advice about a browser bug, or a connection to a particular company, there's a good chance someone in the network can help you."
