I am now looking seriously at something in this area as an eventual full time job. I'm looking at this coming summer and thinking that since I don't have all that much scheduled it would be great to try to get a job of some sort at a related/tech company in order to get some practical experience in this area. Even if I don't have the experience to get a job involving actual programming or anything of that sort yet, I think just the knowledge about how such a company works would be valuable. One advantage I do have is that I live in the SF Bay Area, so there should be plenty of companies around. I'm pretty flexible about what I'm going to be doing and very willing to learn just about anything anybody cares to teach me, but if there's some (or even quite a bit of) boring grunt work involved, I can do that too. I'm already planning to ask my friends/acquaintances in the field if they have any ideas/suggestions, but I'd also like input from you guys...what methods might I use to find such a job?"
