As a programmer, I like to say that I think for a living, and type when I feel like it

As a response to 4,

I worked at Intel as an Intern and I quit within a few weeks. Obviously everyone's experience is different and every person is different, but Intel is HUGE and it's easy to get lost phyically, socially, etc. The work I was doing didn't matter really (it was automated testing). They had outsourced most of my lab so it felt really empty.

I would walk through the cubicals during the afternoon and people were napping, playing games, etc. It just felt like everything that I always dredded as a "job" growing up.

Constrast this with another intership I had (computer science in both), in a small business (30-40 employees) in Portland, where everyone knew each other, and the workspace was open (agile programming) and everything was quickly moving and high-energy.

Two completly different worlds.

Well if they moved in the oppsite direction they'd be basically using GUIDS:
