A.

In my university we had a 6 months long internship at the end of the last term.
I spent my entire internship at a webagency which I was very fond of, mostly because they do what I love, and there taught myself many valuable lessons.

Nevertheless, at the end of the internship it was time for graduation. After the graduation, my plans were to move back home. (University and this agency were placed 32km from my hometown, I've rented a room on 4 squaremeters during my student time)

However the recruiter had other plans for me. They convinced me to stay through giving me the opportunity to work from home two days in a week. Deal.

So that's how I got my first paid development position. Even though it didn't last long due to the horrid traveling distance twice a week for around a year.
