My advice, I would try to find an internship related to your major right now or at least by Junior year. I hate hearing stories on how people graduated and can’t find a job because they waited too long and tried to find one last minute during their senior year. I’m a Marketing/Accounting major and I work as a Treasurer at Bank of America.

I work for one of the bigger companies in the valley. I did not go to college.
I started out in a warehouse about 13 years ago at a tech place, worked my way into data centers.
I no longer rack or stack but instead I manage a group that racks and stacks for me.
My advice-take some free/cheap Linux classes and get yourself a
Raspberry pi for practice. Almost every large company writes code in the major coding languages on Ubuntu based systems.
If you can do that stuff in command line then you’ll have a huge jump on other applicants.
Don’t be afraid to be a contractor. Make connections and possibly become a full timer.
I did it so you can too.

I went to Chatham University in Pittsburgh. They have something called PBL (problem based learning) which not that many schools used at the time I was there. It's for people that dont enjoy just sitting in lectures all day lol
W on SNKRS for a 7.5. Got enough pairs to make my personal pair free...plus the foot stores better take rewards on these

Nah actually he’s right in the sense that IT work isn’t for everyone. A minute of downtime can equate to millions in lost revenue.
Plus computers don’t always work when and how you want. And you have to stay on top of stuff which is made difficult by the ever evolving landscape.
And you have security and threats from inner and outer sources to worry about.
It’s like being a pro golfer. It looks easy but if it was we’d all be doing it.
