you always use semi-colons wrongly and it's rousing the inner dilbert in meShocking wrote:
Well yeah ofcourse, I'm not trying to discount the value of an internship. But; if I were offering an internship and had to pick between someone who's about to graduate with honors but didn't work, and another who's barely managing to complete his study but worked every weekend I know who I'd pick. Study results tell you much more about how the person will function in your company than their (almost irrelevant) work experience. Good results mean someone's motivated in your field, bad results... different story. Either he just sucks at it and you'll have to babysit him or he'll slack.
I work side jobs myself but I don't expect it to have any value for my future career.

the semi-colon is the most pretentiously and unfortunately used piece of punctuation in the whole toolkit. stop trying to look smart.
