On: Ask HN: I'm an incoming freshman to college for a CS major, what should I know?

Among other idiocy, I've been told:

• Look in the Wall Street Journal want ads for a job

• Find an older person who wants to rent out a room in their home for $300 a month

• Walk into the office with a resume and ask to talk to a hiring manager

All spoken like it's gospel.
