[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The undercurrent of this whole discussion is that we as parents are presiding over a [b]whole generation of kids who don’t know how to hustle or make things happen[/b] on their own, regardless of their natural talents and work ethic.  The parents who expect the university career office to magically get their kids internships and jobs truly scare me. It takes enormous effort and discomfort for one to get his first professional gig.  It is a painful and incredibly necessary process to figure out who they are and what they want to do with their lives.  We all went through it. They will eventually figure it all out. My own parents (that generation) never would have dreamed of blaming the university career office for my inability to get an internship; they would have blamed me.Yeah, Bill Gates’ dad probably facilitated that House of Representatives page internship but it had absolutely nothing to do with his later creating Microsoft.[/quote]
Most posters disagree with OP. At least two UMD posters in this thread submitted 200 applications to get internships. Don't think it's accurate to generalize. [/quote]
