I've currently got a part-time job that works fine, but I was thinking that 
I would be willing to jump ship if something more to my liking (or closer to 
my field of study) presented itself.

I work with XP (*gag*) at school, where I've also worked with MSAccess and 
MSWord. Next semester they'll be teaching me some of the ins and outs of 
Oracle, but no... no Solaris experience.

To make this TriLUG-worthy:

My point in emailing the list was to see if there are any companies that 
people work for that regularly hire interns (or even summer interns) to 
do... pretty much anything. I am still in school, after all.

Alternatively, are part-time people needed to do client/customer support for 
any companies that people work for? I have three years of experience doing 
customer service for Sports Endeavors (a Hillsborough-based catalog retailer 
that runs www.soccer.com <http://www.soccer.com> and
www.lacrosse.com<http://www.lacrosse.com>in addition to handling the
distribution for 365 Sports, aka.
worldsoccershop.com <http://worldsoccershop.com> and others).

Thanks for your thoughts,

CMP
