How necessary is it to obtain an internship before you graduate college?

An internship is the one task that I did not complete as an undergrad. I am now applying for them and have noticed that the vast majority of internships have a requirement that the applicant be a student. #internships #students #career-development

Will a TI-84 or similar graphing calculator ever come in handy in software development, or will I only ever need it for school?

I'm curious whether it would make more sense to sell my TI-84 when I'm done with the math classes for my degree, or to hold onto it. #computer-science #computer-software #software-engineering #computer-programming #software-development #software-design
