[quote=Anonymous]Contributing to the problem is many young adults I know (kids of friends and colleagues, our sitters) graduate from college with very little real work experience because they spent their free time and summers in academic, sports and other extracurricular pursuits. I’ve asked many colleagues (government agencies) what their kids are doing this summer or where they’re working and discovers very few had regular jobs. My colleagues didn’t want them to have to work like they did or felt as if their kids are too good to work fast food and retail jobs. When I was a hiring manager (entry level IT, help desk and sales for well known media company) of recent college grads, I eliminated candidates with no work experience and often hired candidates who worked retail or restaurants through college because I knew they could hustle and had drive (and I was right).
