OP here. Just got back from UVA graduation. DD graduated with 3.2 GPA and is not a typical DCUM "smart" kid but that's ok. DD did not have any internships during sophomore or junior year.
DH is helping DD to get a job as a IT project manager contract for a federal government agency. DD passed the PMP cert three months ago. It Looks like a great field to be in with starting pay over 100k and that women have an advantage in this field, according to DH.
With a BS degree, you only need 4500 hours for the PMP experience. That 4,500 hours you can do through volunteering like setting up WiFi at your church, the job that takes 5 hours but you can put down 1000 hours, as long as the person in charge at the church will sign off on it, which they normally do. You can do a lot of side projects and have people sign off another 3,500 hours, or you can purchase the time. Nobody will go and check or verify for this. They just don't have the resources to verify. Lot of people have been gaming the system.

She had all the required experience to sit for the PMP during college?
