    Not yet. I’m still a college student and need good employer letters of recommendation.

    My plan is when I graduate is get offers from a bunch of companies, and then start a bidding war among them.

          Generally first grads aren’t worth much. I have trained a lot of interns and no exaggeration I can put out easily 8x as much work as they can. It isn’t magic, it is just experience. Additionally whenever a fresh grad is hired, in what I have seen, there were a dozen or so candidates just as qualified.

          I have been doing my line of work for 15 years and I am not confident I would be able to win a bidding war.

          You’ll be lucky if you don’t have to make applying for jobs in your field your full-time, unpaid job. If moving back in with your parents isn’t an option you’ll need several roommates while you work for $10-18 an hour at your other full time job depending on your location. This all assumes US.
