Waste of money.  If I had that cash to burn, I'd donate it somewhere.

3000 hours? By heck! That's 375 days at 8 hours/day, so a five day week will make it the best part of a year and a half. Does she get paid for the Internship (because I understand they rarely paid positions in the US?)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I had suggested a remedy for that: change the setup in the hospital: the residents and interns work for tips.
An alternative would be to have the MD's pay for their services out of pocket on an a la carte basis - or do the work themselves.

In the US a Medical Internship (which I'm assuming is what she'll be doing) is indeed a paid position.
The internships of the non-paid variety are usually of the "summer internship for college students" type, and generally last a few months. That's been my experience at least.

That is true, and many of the "college internships" have some stipend, too.

Hopefully. Though part of the next chapter (or volume) is "where?" We live in the boonies, Albany is a 45 minute drive, and it's difficult to find agencies that will pay you while you intern. We shall see!

The unpaid sort are running into problems in general in the US. By law employers aren't allowed to gain any actual work product from an unpaid intern; it needs to be a pure training position. Historically there's been an element of that being honored only in the breach; but over the last few years the Department of Labor's added it to the list of things they're collecting heads over.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Got another freebie with 50% discount if you want to buy the Professional version. This time it's Hard Disk Sentinel Standard Edition Hard Drive Software 100% Off[^].
I bought the Professional version ages ago from here, use the Portable version as it allows me to check customers HDD for errors when called out for various issues that could be caused by HDD problems.
The last 2 days they had IsoBuster at 50% off, great tool I've had for years. But since they didn't have a 100% off version I didn't post. Got in too much trouble last time I mentioned something that wasn't free from there.

Thanks for that! I use CrystalDiskInfo[^] which is Open Source, and the SanDisk SSD Dashboard which came with my SSD so I'm OK for the moment. But it's always worth knowing about alternatives!

I've used a very similar clue myself in the past - nice clue though.
