[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think, over the past 10 years, so much of getting a job has come down to connections. You either have them through your parents or through an internship. Most internships are now unpaid and uber competitive. To get a good one, you need to have experience that readily applies (or a family/friend connection). This means kids have to start taking on more "serious" jobs earlier and earlier. There is no time to wait tables or work retail because those jobs no longer are good enough to help you make your way into a serious job. [/quote] I don't think you need connections to get a job at the local movie theater or fast food joint. I think you need a parent to push their lazy kids to get off their asses and out of the house. I get what you are trying to say but really how many kids are getting internships and building their Linked-in profiles at 16? Most people aren't doing internships until they are 20 or 21 at the earliest.[/quote]
