University of California, Berkeley student Ryan Cosner could be earning a hefty paycheque working at a trendy California technology company this summer, but he chose to come to Dearborn, Michigan, for an internship at Ford Motor Co instead. 

Cosner, 21, is not interested in Silicon Valley despite his emphasis in studying mechanical engineering and technology. He, and many college students like him, prefer to take a spin with a car company.
