I don't agree with this at all. I suppose it depends on the type of company you work for, but I interned at a little credit union making $9.25 and my projects consisted of setting up an internal webmail server along with a script to configure it with, and setting up their new Windows Server from installing windows to setting up AD and Group Policy. Granted, random IT tasks were a part of my description, but I learned a ton based on the work I got to do there.
You can judge what you can learn from your cheap internship based on what your tasks will be, or can be.
You might also take the approach that video games do - track the work you do. Reward yourself for making milestones.
I agree with this totally. I find that method applying to any sort of work that gets to be drawn out or just unenjoyable. Make little steps and create an award system. At school I would reward myself with either a beer each step I got along the way... which works great if you only have a few steps and arent at work, or would game for an hour or whatever after completing a step.
The music too. If necessary, I'd find some chill music, put headphones on to avoid outside noises, get in the zone and go to town.
Just because you are compliant with some regulation does not mean that your system cannot be breached. That would be absurd to believe. Sure PCI is a regulation affirming that the system is secure, but secure is defined by their set of regulations. You cannot protect against everything. I think it's a joke to hold the auditor responsible, unless like some others have stated, that it is possible to prove that the job done was insufficient.
