I have just recently graduated from High School and I am looking for something productive to do over the summer. I was thinking of possibly learning a new language that can give me an edge in school or a good project to pursue that will look good on my resume for future jobs. Also how would I go about getting a job right out of high school or interning for a company for the summer?

Thanks in advance.
