[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a pretty bad year across the board, because [b]the economy sucks and trump is decimating research funding.[/b] I think if they're an engineering/CS major, it is pretty concerning to not have an internship right now. Pretty much all of DS's friends in physics are just now getting offers for research or have another month to wait (this is for rising seniors too!). As a sophomore, it is a good idea to just do research anyway- research often is applicable to industry projects, gets something down on the resume, and the experience will be very important if they are at all interested in graduate school.[/quote]

This is the reality. Trump has killed a lot of opportunities. Sorry it’s hard for you to hear. [/quote]

Nah… entry-level jobs just aren’t worth the money anymore. Companies are outsourcing them or replacing them with AI—it’s a fact. There’s no need to drag politics into it; it doesn’t matter who the president is.[/quote]

Are you in the DMV? I am The reality is that the economy in our area is not doing well. I know multiple adults who are jobless (most after leaving the federal govt). I know this because they have asked for my help with leads and I see their linked in posts to that effect. All of the upheaval also had a very destabilizing effect on govt contractors too. Multiple internships last year were rescinded.

So yes, I'm sorry it's hard for you to hear, but politics affects policy which affects real people, including college kids looking for internships. [/quote]
