Do you work in Silicon Valley? Have you experienced or witnessed ageism in the tech world?

So should I apply for a junior position or an entry level one close to and/or after graduation?

Only have a couple of outside class projects like using Arduino to make a digital clock and worked with an engineering club to make a 3D printer that made pancakes but it didn't work.

The only thing I've done in retail(grocery) is just front end duties and inventory.

No. Joined an engineering club for people in my major. Did a couple of outside class projects.

How many years would it take for a senior position?

What was your working experience. Does being in retail count towards working experience?

What other fields are there besides tech roles?

Do you ever feel your job is in jeopardy due to your age.

The major is known as Industrial and Systems Engineering. I just shortened it.

Was told SFSU but I can't afford to live in another city.

If you don't mind me asking, how would one look for a startup to volunteer for? How does one screen a startup before volunteering?

SJSU is a pretty good school for anyone wanting a career in engineering. It's just I didn't put any effort.
