Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.

LOL, I share Akst's resentment. I worked during my summers.
There's a bias in who does internships, but it's not only economic. Part of it is knowing the value of an internship when you're 20 years old - I didn't understand it was valuable, so I didn't do them. And this wasn't just ignorance, but obstinance - "what did these rich kids know?" was my attitude. The way I saw it, I had to keep the debt down; so I worked shit jobs and also did some computer work. (Besides, I wasn't good enough to score paid technical internships.)
The real value of internships is that it puts you into the upper-end of the labor market. The connections are everything.
