[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - major was English -- a beautiful major. The world needs more English majors.... especially from schools well known for their English & humanities departments. That should translate into many jobs in media, publishing, etc. And yes, with what we paid, no guarantees, but I would expect better assistance from the career center. [b]The kid has worked so hard looking for a job and is not willing to be underemployed.[/b]

I appreciate the tecchies, but not everyone is made to do that work. The world needs some fuzzies, too. More than ever actually.

BTW - middle class burb family that has worked hard for it. [/quote]

This seems like a small red flag to me? What do you mean that your child does not want to be "underemployed"? Everyone should pay their dues and those dues can really stink sometimes. But they get your foot in the door and more times than not, lead to very good things.

Did your child have any internships? What did they do to network over their breaks and summers prior to graduation?[/quote]
