Thank you! I've already been doing a lot of the stuff you mentioned, and I'll definitely consider the rest. As far as citizenship is concerned, I can work for almost 3 years with my student visa (employer doesn't need to do anything either), so I'm not sure interning abroad would make much sense in my case. Also, besides language difficulties, a lot of internships outside of the US are either unpaid or so poorly paid that I couldn't afford to move half-way across the world for the summer. Good luck in your search as well!
