[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids didn't want to go through connections. I'm proud they picked completely different fields than ours and made it on their own. It can be done.[/quote] Thank you for posting this. I was starting to feel like a sucker for suggesting that my kid submit applications to internship postings. It’s good to know that not all internships are given based on nepotism and friend connections. [/quote] Further confirmation that it can be done without connections. Both kids found (paid) internships for this summer on their own. The one in tech had a tougher time, with over 100 applications submitted, but finally landed one. During the process advised them to keep at it, but not to worry if they didn't get an internship. I find it unfortunate that college kids today have this additional stress to deal with. Back in the last millennium, few of us worried about internships over the summer, any old summer job was fine.[/quote]
