Life long learner: For internships, no. Interns need to still be studying. For full time roles it definitely helps. In its absence we'll be looking for signs on your CV that you've completed interesting projects, so be sure to call those out on your CV. There are more tips at http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/students/joining/.

Francisco: Check out http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/students/. I've just had a look, and I don't see any internships in Portugal at the moment. However, we're extremely happy to take interns *from* Portugal, and many of our interns have come from a different country to the one that they're interning in. So if you're interested in seeing what it's like to work outside Portugal I'd recommend applying for an internship in one of our offices -- it's an excellent way to combine working on interesting problems with seeing the world.

I am trying to decide where to go to college. My choices are University of Arizona or Northern Arizona University. U of A is our state's "flagship" research school offering many classes in computer science which is what my declared major is. While NAU offers many CS courses and is known to be a good school as well just not near as large of a school. I'm kinda of a quirky girl ( I mean I still like Pokemon and My little Pony - Friendship is magic) so fitting in at NAU would be a good fit for me. However, I've been blessed (or cursed) with being smart! Which in other words I may not due myself justice by not going to our state's more prestigious school.

Can you offer any advice for me as an incoming college freshman who would like an opportunity to work for one of the big computer companies?
Thank you
Briana.
