Not to my knowledge...and nothing that he has said is even remotely funny.  This thread was actually pretty helpful until he started posting. I'm not really sure why he's posting pictures of his lunch and a printout of DoubleJ's avatar either. 

Yea it was helpful til the bragging and schemes started, nothing wrong with a little hard honest work.

I just got accepted for a paid internship with a security company. Its a 5-week training course , 2  in the classroom and 3 in the field. Once you get certified they ship you off to do interviews with companies they network with and they told me that they have a 95% placement rate! You can start off as typical security guard working at designated posts and doing vehicle/bike patrol or you can choose to be a loss prevention agent at retail stores and work as an undercover store detective. Great way to get your foot into the door if you're pursuing a law enforcement career or you if you like to stay in the private sector you can become a private investigator and deal with more serious crimes like insurance fraud, credit cards, etc.

* Previous experience of working in a litigation based function, whether Litigation Support, document review, paralegal etc
* eDiscovery technologies, preferably Clearwell.
* Graduate degree, and/or legal qualification.
* Financial services experience

my lil' sis did the same thing---honestly if you want to get into any type of business related field you should be interning after freshmen year.  She graduating and already got a job lined up, but she been on her internship grind since DAY.ONE. That's the only way to eat/survive. If you looking after junior year you dang near already too late.
Hustle harder, not smarter
