I'm 18 years old and in my 1st year of college getting AA in Computer Science in Networking degree. My questions is where do I find companies that would hire me during my journey. I want to use what I learn and not wait until I receive my degree. I live in VA close to DC.
I'm looking for entry level position and willing to work.

I think just about everyone started with helpdesk... at least thats where I started... A little warning, it will probably really suck, but stick it out for a year. Update your resume, then look somewhere else.

I started my IT "journey" about 8 years ago on a helpdesk. It does suck, but you will learn a lot of stuff that they won't teach you in class.

You college might be able to put you onto a few, but I'd do a nice letter.

There's always someone who needs a keen and cheap chap to do some bit's and pieces. If you can't get a specific IT placement, branch out. I started in data entry. Seeing IT being used in the workplace will be very useful, and you get some good resume material that shows you didn't sit on your ass, waiting for someone to give you something.
