Summer after your freshman year is the perfect time to get a sales internship at a tech startup near zip code 94305. You’re not technical enough to do a strait CS internship and too sophisticated to do a grunt internship. Thus, you can do technical, business development. Aka tech sales. Aka tech biz dev.

You will be a whore.

By using the slang, “whore”…, I am emphasizing that you will be trading services your startup provides, for money. By whoring, you will be trading tech conference booth space for favors.
By whoring, you will be trading favorable tweets for access.
By whoring, you will be trading favorable wordpress blog posts for distribution.
By whoring, you will be a needed person even though you’re a newbie
By whoring, you will be temporarily setting aside your CS degree track and doing things that econ and art majors do after they graduate: Whore for money.
