[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have high school and middle school kids. Every time I mention to my husband that I am worried about their futures (they're good kids but average and not destined for HYS), he says things like "don't worry I will hook them up with internships." And "even if they decide to do something in a different field, a good internship can be a steppingstone and provide work experience, a reference" etc. He says he's been doing favors for people for a long time just for this purpose. Is this true, in your experience? A good internship makes up for an average college? [/quote] I pretty much owe the entire course of my career to my junior year internship on Capitol Hill because of the connections I made and one particular person who took it upon herself to be my mentor. I do think if you do a good job in an internship opportunity that can happen. It wasn't a resume thing, it was a work/connection/trust-building thing.[/quote]
