internship found

i finally found an internship for my summer credits of business school. it's pretty hard to find a good internship, considering it can only be a maximum of about 3-4 months; something employers don't like to hear ("i'm gonna leave your ass high and dry and go back to school in 3 months, but thanx for the opportunity to learn something from your company and get paid for it"). it's even harder to find a paid internship at that...nobody wants an employee (of management level) that they know is going to leave them soon, which is why most internships out there are for BS work, like u're somebody's bitch, laborer or "run-around" guy, doing nothing but scratching ur ass all day long.

so, fortunately, i did find an internship that i can actually use my brain and MBA experience for; however, it is non-paid, which kinda gets to me, but then again the internship is a requirement to get the MBA degree so i'll have to just swallow it and shutup for a couple months.

so the job includes business development of a website that allows businesses and individual consumers to upload important files to purchased hard-disk space on this website. i saw the site's user interface and layout during my interview and it actually looks really great, which is one of the biggest reasons i'd like to be a part of it. the other reason is that it's not BS work i'd be involved in; on the contrary, i'd actually be doing business development, knowledge management and maybe even some marketing for the new site. so i guess it's bittersweet...i'd be doing something fruitful and accomplishing, but i wouldn't get paid, which still stings (pretty badly.....o man, it hurts).

for those more interested in the site, imagine your own external hard-drive space managed by someone through a web server, which you have web access to. to actually transfer files, the company has created a very (or so it seemed at first look) easy-to-use user interface, and simple design layout. you can even drag and drop files within the site to other folders in your account within the site (but can't drag and drop files from your computer desktop to the site...that'll be a huge step though, but i have yet to see something like that). so basically u upload a root folder onto this site and then once it's done uploading, u can view everything in that root folder WITHIN the website, exactly as it looks in your own computer's explorer, and drag and drop things within that view, or just upload more data onto any folder(s) within that main root folder already uploaded onto the site.

that's more rambling than i originally wanted to do, but hopefully the idea got across.
