[quote=Anonymous]A PP. Regarding internship pressure, I was a department store clerk after freshman year. I was a bit rudely treated by management, spent my summer being ignored by older permanent workers, most of my duties involved picking up clothes after messy people and running a cash register. I didn't get paid much in exchange for committing to being available for weekly schedules (and schedule cancelling) a few days before. Most of the social skills I learned were about keeping your mouth shut. I also learned I never wanted to have a low skill, low wage job again. My kid got a white collar, low paid internship and a second volunteer job after freshman year. I think he will be better prepared for white collar work than I was. I don't think there's any harm in bringing internships earlier in the college career vs. teen type summer jobs. I agree there is more emphasis on it. [/quote]
