[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did these kids have internships?  I graduated the class the spring after 9/11 and everyone I knew got jobs because they already had internship experience.  If you just messed around every summer, no you are not going to get a job easily after graduation.[/quote]

why can't you just say you graduated in 2002? That was close to 20 years ago. Times change and internships don't mean as much these days.[/quote]

I graduated in 2002.

My point was that I graduated in an uncertain time when many offers were being reneged because of the uncertainty.  I work at an org that hires interns and often, if they are good, they get full-time offers if there are openings.  And if there are no openings, they still end up in good full-time positions.  Internships still matter.  Sorry if your kid was so privileged they didn't need to have one and now they can't find a job.  My parents didn't let me stay home in the summers unless I was making money.  [/quote]
