[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid (gender neutral to prevent doxxing) is a rising junior at a top Ivy. That’s the only good part—they basically peaked in high school. In a useless humanities major at their school with a low GPA. Got rejected from all 50 internships they applied to this summer, so they’re currently working as a camp counselor. I’m distraught. We’re middle class and my kid gets a ton of aid from their school, so we can’t afford to have them major in something useless while not working in important, resume-building internships. But they don’t listen. So frustrating. Can anyone else relate? It’s just so frustrating seeing them sabotage every single chance they get. [/quote]

They applied to 50 internships! And they were rejected. Rather than curl up into a ball or turn to drinking or playing video games they got a job and are earning money.  How are they sabotaging? Did they get interviews and did not prepare?[/quote]

Didn’t get an interview anywhere because GPA was too low. [/quote]
