Not in the slightest. I'm a little concerned for her. Our oldest won't start college until next year, so it's not like I'm saying my kids are better than their cousins or anything like that either.[/quote]

Oh please, you are completely judging here. You may not be aware, but it is a very tough job market, particularly for young people without experience. Between AI, cutbacks in internship programs, and the global economy it's not easy to get a internship. The fact that she is welcome back at a previous job is a good sign in terms of her character and work ethic. Honestly, she's working a lot harder than some kids with fancy internships.[/quote]

Her mother didn't share anything about her looking for, interviewing for, and not getting other "real" internships. She knew she could do the lifeguard thing, again, so I guess she didn't bother pursuing any other opportunities.[/quote]
