[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has he done anything substantive to show interest in his field while in college?  Did he do research for a professor?  Did he join any professional societies?  Intern during the semester anywhere?  Work a campus job?  A summer job?

It's been 1.5 years since COVID were rolled back.  [b]If he has done nothing to sell about himself, he's just lazy[/b].[/quote]

I'm his mother and I'm not going to disagree with your appraisal. Now that we have that out of the way, how does he get a good job with a practically vacant resume and one month from earning an Ivy League bachelor's degree?[/quote]

He doesn’t get a good job, he gets a job and builds up from there.  There are plenty of places interested in hiring people with bachelor’s degrees in any field.[/quote]

+1 - or look into something like Teach For America (is that still around) or something along those lines that will put experience on his resume that he can later leverage into work he's actually interested in.[/quote]
