<p>I just saw an email from one of the largest computer companies in the world looking for four coop students with at least two years of undergrad in CE or CS in the suburbs of Boston. They would like students to start this month and work through the end of the year at which point they would resume their studies. It seems like it would be a bit of a headache to ask your university to let you skip a semester but the experience may be worth it. I was a bit surprised to see this kind of offer.</p>
<p>After all, they could just outsource it, right? Well, maybe not.</p>
