I'm assuming that you're looking for a professional website, not something that a nontechnical person could easily slap together on a site like Weebly. If that is indeed the case, then I think the main problem that you are going to encounter is just the lack of real-world experience when hiring interns. Most interns need mentoring. The goal of an ...

You always hear about the guys that dropped out of school and then made it big, and I have a feeling that that is influencing your thinking here. But like other times in life, sometimes what's more important is what isn't being said. For every successful person who pulled off dropping out of school, you don't hear about the 100+ who dropped out, failed, and ...

We need a bit more information to answer this question. Is the position paid or unpaid? Does the position require special skills? (looking for a computer programmer, for example) Is it possible to work throughout the year, or just the summer? Could this lead to a full time job? Even with that information, a lot depends on the specific University or ...

If it is a real job (i.e. $) then call a local college, most of them will post job ads on a wire service. IIRC we paid $300 and it went to several big colleges in the state. Can you re-write the description so it doesn't look like a typical craigslist work-for-me-for-free-you-might-get-a-job posting? An internship is supposed to give the intern real world ...

A failed startup is not a failure. There is no degree on earth that could ever teach you as much in 2 years as you will learn with your own startup - assuming you actually work of course. If I were hiring someone and they said that they had worked hard at a startup for 2 years and that it didn't work out, they would stand out positively far more than a guy ...

I am in a similar situation and what I did was agreed to pay them after my first sale. You could do something similar, like after an initial $X is made, you will receive a payment of Y. It worked out great because my roommates are my web devs. It also shows they have faith in the company/dedication to provide a good service/product.

You're right that most start-ups fail. If you go the start-up route, just keep reminding yourself that you're in it to succeed, and that if it doesn't work out then you'll learn. So then you have two choices: do your own thing, or join someone else's startup? The latter's a great default choice, in my opinion. You get all the learning, without the ...

That's a bad idea in your case, here is why: Software house is a bad type of a start-up. It is not unique in any way, it's highly reliant on people running it, will have small customer base and it's value will be very little. You won't attract any angels or VCs with just a software house. You will have much higher chances if you are building a product or ...

Yes you can certainly do that. Contact the univ and ask them the procedures and requirements for posting an internship. Also be sure to ask where you can view other internships being offered so you have an idea what your competition is offering. Don't be surprised to find that tech heavy fields demand paid (sometimes fairly high) internships.
