They are out there...especially around the NY Financial district where reliable and stable environments are a must for day to day business activities.
In fact, I am a product of one such internship. The Company I currently work for (Instinet) hired me on as an intern last summer. At the end of the internship, they kept me on part time, where I would telecommute one day and go in to the office every friday until this past May where I went full time.. We do lots of good stuff, perl hacking, java programming, c/c++, oracle/sybase Databases..
I know they really only take internships over the summer...but you can contact HR if your interested.
I would wholeheartedly suggest going for an education like many of the above posters suggest...
However, your choice of school can be the most important factor in your college life. Do you want to learn something for the here and now... or do you want to gain the requisite skills to make a career as a computer scientist?
A school's technology for a potential computer science major is important. But almost as important as the technology the school employs, is the opportunities the school offers to its students. Does the school offer cooperative education or an intern program where you can go work for companies gaining valuable experience while you're still learning the skills to be successful in the industry?
I'm just about finishing my undergraduate degree this year. I've had the opportunity to work for IBM as an intern, and at the moment...working as a part-time perl programmer with a possibility of full time employment when I graduate.
I guess my point is that the school can have the greatest technology, but there are other factors that you should watch out for.
And in case you were wondering, the school I go to is New Jersey Institute of Technology It was rated by Yahoo America's Most Wired Public University... so the technology here is up to date. Look into it if interested.
Borrowing a line from Kirk as he spoke of Spock at the end of STII and changing it some:
"Of all the Star Trek characters that I've encountered. His was the most human."
Mr. Kelley, through his portrayal of the good ol' country brought the humanizing factor to the proper and ethical use of technology.
We, as the elite users of Technology, must use Kelley's portrayal of McCoy as a guide to upcoming technologies. Not just use it because it is there, but constantly asking ourselves: Why are we using it and what purpose does it serve?
I cannot think of a better way we could honor the memory of this man who has touched our lives so much. Mr. Kelley, you have indeed touched my life. Thank you and Rest in Peace in that big Starship in the sky.

Kill it before it develops language skills!
The B5 movies are available in a box set. I'm staring at the box set atm.
HP-UX does as well.
I work in a shop where HP-UX and SOLARIS systems use a common scripting interface across all applications, which just happen to be written ksh.
