[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard to determine if any colleges do a better job than the next with respect to helping kids get internships/jobs. Seems like in one breath someone will say my kid is at a top 10 and got this great job…but in the next the kid applied to 400 internships online. I gather the strength of the program helped the kid get interviews and land the job…but it’s not like they got the job through career services or an on-campus job fair. It almost seems like there is an inverse between school prestige and how much the school feels it is a primary function to help their students get jobs.[/quote] No, it isn't about the school; its about what the kid can show the potential employer. If you are at MIT, but have zero code to show, you are not as interesting as the kid from Wherever U with a strong online portfolio of work.[/quote]
