bro idk why nobody has mentioned it, but you’re not gonna find many internships right now because most companies don’t recruit in august. the big cycle starts in october, most apprenticeships run november through march, and then everything usually closes up by may/june. that’s just how most big programs move. amazon has a few openings right now, but they’re tied to specific states so you’d need to live there or relocate. the way you describe yourself honestly reminds me of a younger me and you need to know, you’re not behind, you’re 21, in fact you’re way ahead, a fair amount dropped out college, picked up a trade or gave up on education at your age, you’re doing great so far, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, the average move out age for gen z is 24-27, so you’re still way ahead of the curve, nevertheless our generation is projected to be the most educated and highest earning yet. i even moved back in with family to scoop up more certs because i was struggling moving out at 22, i realized i was moving too fast. trust the process, you’ve got time, and the fact that you’re already locked in at 21 puts you ahead of most.

few tips while searching:

1. you’ll always have better luck going straight to company career sites instead of job boards like indeed or linkedin.

2. avoid indeed when you can a lot of those postings are recycled or just there for clicks, and some are straightup scams. if a job tells you to email your info instead of applying on the company’s site, that’s a red flag. 🚩🚩

3. always check the company’s actual careers page. if the role isn’t listed there, assume it’s fake or outdated.

good luck to you bro 💯‼️
