Hey, Kids, Go Virtual

I liked this article about how to line up a virtual internship. This is a good way to get experience in both your chosen profession and in telecommuting, and can let you consider low or no-pay internships in places you could probably not afford to live otherwise.

The other thing about these tips is that they're good for anyone who is evaluating any telecommuting position. There is a lot of enthusiasm for telecommuting these days, but if an employer is not ready to really handle remote workers, it may not be a good choice for you, the job seeker.
