Found a job through a connection I made during that four months and hung onto it for a few years to get some good experience, even though it sucked.

Moved to a bigger city from there and started trading up better positions with that experience.

Doing pretty good now, I'm a team lead at a company building some pretty cool stuff.

Still feels like if I had 2 or 3 internships during university I'd have had a lot smoother sailing. But who knows?

It definitely makes me think Software Development should be taught more like a trade with apprenticeships than anything else though.
