Internships are usually reserved for college students, unless they drastically reduced the cost of going to college recently, I would hardly call an internship cheap experience/training.

How about you do a Google or a Linkedin search for local companies that you would like to work for.

Then find their contact detals (I prefer email) then send them a email and give them a description of who you are for an example " I am a university student studying etc etc and know this and this"

And say I am willing to volunteer for free

- to gain some work experience.

I did this when I was starting out in my career

And it has worked well !

Best of luck !

There should be just as much tech opportunity in OC/LA as anywhere else. But perhaps you should just try to accelerate your WGU program? If you focused on that 100% then you could graduate two years sooner than your goal. Then you could start thinking about entry level jobs rather than internships.

OC/LA area is all about who you know. If you don't know anyone go to a better place.
