[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here with an update. He got a entry-level summer job. And, marvel of marvels, instead of trying to find an internship not entirely related to his major, he is doing a research project with a respected professor in his field! I had to crack the whip for him to email professors and send reminders when they didn't respond, because he was worried about being rude, but after a month of emailing, he found someone willing to help. I am so relieved. Now I have to make sure he actually does the work... I think either he's going to become more responsible as he matures. Or he's just going to come crashing down when I get too old and decrepit to advise him. But at least I'll have pushed him as far as I can. [/quote] That is great news. Good job. And the right approach - pushing him to do it instead of doing it for him. [/quote]
