[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar dilemma for my kid.  Just finished freshman year of college.  Accepted a camp job a couple of weeks ago.  JUST received an offer for an internship. Fortunately she feels guilty (has a heart), but will be taking the internship. Camp doesn't start for another month, so hopefully the resignation won't put the camp in too big a bind.[/quote]

The camp has already vetted its staff, done background checks and rejected other applicants; they have set up the assignments with the campers and activites. WTF is wrong with you people?[/quote]

Please, please, please don’t make your kid continue with a job that isn’t the right decision for them.  I know you think there should be some ethics, but the company won’t think for a second dropping your kid’s offer if they decide it no longer makes sense.  They may do that 24 hours before your kid is supposed to show.

You seem to think we still live in the 50s where companies were like family.  We don’t.  A kid may burn bridges, but as others have commented from the company side…they understand the current world of jobs.
