[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So with all these diversity targets, is it bad news then for my white, lower middle class son without connections to find internships and first job? I’m sure he’ll hit the pavement running, but sounds a bit discouraging. [/quote] Rely on your son’s networking, friends, family, and local businesses for early internships and regular jobs, which are very important. For large companies, the field opens up during junior year. Most employers recognize kids need internships during their junior year, and so preference is usually given to juniors. This thread started with questions about a handful of firms - those are a special beast, with special programs for diversity hires early in the college career - summer after sophomore year, typically. You should expect your son to work hard to find placements, and he will, even if he is at one of these lower ranked schools. [/quote]
