Sorry, I'm just too stoked and need to share/brag about this... So I was at the local immigration office waiting (for 4.5 bloody hours) to pick up my visa and one of the guys that I am friends with from my university shows up there, taking care of stuff for his wife since she's not Austrian. Not even 5 minutes into the conversation he offers me a job to work at the ministry he works at (Federal Ministry for Metrology and Surveying; measurement standards and GPS systems and such things, quite the broad array of duties) for a month in the summer as an intern. Best part is, I don't have to worry about getting a work visa or anything because it's an internship and related to my studies!!! Could even be making €1500 before taxes for that month, depending on how many hours I work each week (20-40). SWEET!!!!!!

Again, just had to share...

Thats an awesome turn of events, congratulations it sounds a great way to get experience and money. Plus it sounds like if you do a good job during the internship you may end up being able to get a job there.

Thanks guys. Right place, right time is definitely true. I'm sure he would have gotten in touch with me about it eventually, but certainly sooner is better than later. I've actually been wanting to ask him if I could work for him, but never was able to work it into a conversation. I'd love for it to turn into something part-time later on, too - I could certainly use some kind of steady income. We'll see, though.

Now I just have to wait and talk specifics with him later this month or next and plan it all out. Should be interesting.

Nice. I'm applying for year long internships at the moment and it's a nightmare. So hard to get a decent job!

Ya, it was a rough day. Didn't get hardly any work done with studying today. Only good thing that came out of it was that job offer.
