[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs to just start doing something -- an unpaid internship, entry level position somewhere. Doing *something* and getting up and getting dressed is going to change his outlook profoundly. And doing something is SO MUCH better than doing nothing.

Don't worry what the other grads are doing.[/quote]

Totally agree with this - and he needs to get over the idea that he's too good for regular jobs (or that people will be disappointed with him or look down on him). It doesn't matter. You run your own race, and you do your best with it.

Also have him watch Reality Bites. He is far from the first person to worry about not meeting his full potential. Just about everyone worries about it at some point in life. What he's feeling is normal, and all you an do is put one foot in front of the other.

By the time he's applying for his second job - and maybe even the first one - no one will care about his GPA. Before long no one will care where he went to college, either.[/quote]
