[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a Junior in college.

He has been interning during summer since end of Freshman year.

He has applied for each internship like it was a job search.  Each year he has applied to 250+ internships and heard back only from only 1 or 2 each year.  3.9 gpa kid in CS.  Solid skills. CS is brutal.   However, for the past two years, he has also got call back offers from companies he has interned with.

So, yes, terrible economy.  But, when it is a terrible economy, then you need to dig in and get more skills.  Even if it means working without pay.

Parents, guardians and relatives need to support these students as best as they can so that their future is bright, even if their present is hard. [/quote]
+1. My sophomore CS major applied to 190 summer 2025 internship openings from August to October 2024. Only one interview but fortunately it resulted in an offer. [/quote]
my CS major kid has an internship this summer that pays $40/hour.  No family/friend connections.  They were in a CS program sponsored by a tech company first year in the summer.  Then applied to an internship for that company second year.

4.0 dual math/CS major from a state flagship.

You have to hustle early.[/quote]
