Externship

Externship is one of the most important parts of your time spent at the CIA. There are so many opportunities out there just waiting for you. Pretty much anywhere in the world you want to go you can. Well as long as you can speak the language.
Where on earth (literally) do you go? There are so many things to take into consideration. I think I know where I want to go. Either I want to be at Trotter's or at The French Laundry (cliche, I know). I am pretty sure if I were to go to either of those places I would spent most of my time doing low end commis work, but I do not care.
What I care more about than the hands-on experience is the philosophies. I believe that all the little things that I would be around to see would get stuck in the back of my head as a haunting of sorts to influence every dish I put out for the rest of my life. That is a better foundation for greatness than knowing how to replicate a dish.
My real issue with not surprise is money. Neither of these restaurants offer housing or pay for internships. Then again, why should they. You should be happy to work there for free. Still, I am broke as hell. We are not actually considered registered students while on extern so loans are out of the question. My family is anything but rich, so that is also out of the question. What is a guy to do? I am not sure, but I do know that money sure as hell is not going to stand in my way from such a great oppurtunity. They only thing that might would be not being accepted as an intern.
