[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine.  You don’t need an internship.  Plenty of kids work part time jobs because they need an income.  Many time employers value this more than some summer internship where someone had to practically babysit them and tell them what do for 6 weeks [/quote]
It depends on the major.

For CS, it's really hard to get a job post graduation without any internships.  It's not impossible, but much more difficult, especially these days.

I don't know what kind of interns you are seeing, but  DC and their peers certainly didn't need babysitting.  DC figured stuff out mostly on their own, and finished their projects quickly such that they had to find additional work for DC. Could be why the manager kept emailing DC to come back.   DC got much better  internships (3) this summer so won't be going back to that one.

I realize that internships don't guarantee return offers, but it's easier to find a job post graduation via internships than going cold turkey.[/quote]
