Hello community,

I have went to other communities and asked for some advice but I figure that more advice would be good.

Currently I am in college and got into networking from a family friend in the field and he essentially mentored me. My one issue is that I am having a hard time finding an internship or like a low level position in order to get started in order to work, experience, and learn more about the field.

I don't know if it is just late into the year and companies are stretched thin or I am just lost in trying to find something.

I have applied to basically everything and no dice. Just looking for some advice or maybe even a recommendation to a company that would be good to start at, especially for entry level or internship level.

I am enrolled in college taking engineering

I am also junos-JNCIA certified

currently studying for security + with all the free material I find ( the course is out of my budget rn )

Do not mind moving or anything of the sort

Hopefully I can get some advice and more forward in a better direction. So far, the advice from other communities has been good but not as insightful as hoped.
