>the more I have a realization that a lot of the corporate speak they’re telling us at these companies is for the company’s interest.

Are you joking? Who's interest would it be in? Do you think the world revolves around you?

>in reality they’re just using me for money

Not to sound pedantic, but... why do you think they pay you?

>But I’m just really good at this

Citation needed. You said you get fired every 3 months. If they don't hire you back, you're not "really good".

> I’ve been working and adulting for years

Also, lol, you are in your teens (17-19) and are tired of "adulting". Let me laugh a little more

It is no point to laugh. It is much more difficult to be adult if you are not used to it.

Not fired every three months, she/he's just talking about doing internships

>do internship

>no conversion hire

the purpose of the internship is to let the company consider hiring someone who normally wouldn't qualify. So, yeah no conversion is similar to getting fired.

I do get hired back. But I still gotta leave to go to school for the year. I can't do conversion until graduation.

I don't like going back to the same places anyways; going to new companies lets me figure out what company I will enjoy working for the most when I do graduate.

Not always. I found at least a third of 'internships' were just free labor, no matter how well you mesh.
