[quote=Anonymous]what is she interested in?/what kind of work does she envision herself doing? did she intern anywhere? my UVA history major (+ a minor in English) had a job lined up by February of her senior year (class of '21) but she knew she wanted to get into non-profit work since early on in college and her "brand" was centered around that- she had two non-profit internships, was involved in on-campus activities related to that, had an on-campus fundraising job... and so on and so forth. So her passion really shined through when writing her cover letters and interviewing, I think.

Ideally this is something your child would have been thinking about for the past year at minimum...but I guess it's not too late to start. Just expecting to waltz into a $50K job without any real vision of what kind of work you are interested in, what skills you have, etc. isn't going to work though. Being a history major is not a problem in terms of getting a job- your kid just needs to be prepared to do a little more leg work and packaging of himself/his skills than say, an accounting major where the next step is pretty obvious (aka become an accountant).
