[quote=Anonymous]Most likely my college freshman will be working at the retail job he had in high school.  He is applying for a short summer study abroad program, it's about 4 weeks.  And he's applying to be an orientation aide for the incoming freshmen.  If he gets the aide position, he'll move back to campus two weeks early - one week of orientation training then almost a week of orientation with the freshmen.   If he does both the study abroad and orientation, he'll actually only be home for about 7 weeks.

My oldest never got an internship - he graduated from college in 2022 and Covid really impacted his ability to secure an internship.  He had worked for a small, family owned retail business during the summers and was able to do some "office" work for the owner.  My DS was a data analytics major and helped the owner tweak some inventory processes that he was using.  The experience he got working for this small business was probably just as valuable as working for a big name company.  My DS landed a fantastic job in the fall of his senior year.
