Ask HN: Moving to the Bay Area as a Student

I think you'll find it difficult working at Burger King. I recommend learning something that is employable immediately in the start up scene. That could be as non specific as marketing/sales or as specific as let's say Ruby on Rails or Python.

Take out large school loans if you have to (to avoid doing work that has no learning curve: Burger King) and subsidize your learning for real employable skills.

The Burger King comment was a joke. I hope I wouldn't have to settle for that. (Not that there's anything wrong with working in fast food)

I'm working on a project now (stack includes Python, Bootstrap, postgresql eventually) that I hope will help me get an internship for the summer to help pay for next year.
