It's very, VERY sketchy to not have a job locked up by graduation. Most college seniors had full-time offers in their pocket by July or August from their summer internship last year (2021). Worst-case you're doing on campus recruiting and have something locked up by Sept.-Oct. December at the very latest. OP's kid has issues.[/quote]

Not true.  Many kids could not find internships last summer.  Due to covid there were less than normal, and many companies automatically offered them to the candidates they had selected for 2020 internships but then didn't get to do them due to covid. So there were not many new slots.  And obviously, many kids had their internships cancelled summer 2020.  So this years seniors did have a rough time getting internships.

Signed A parent of a 2022 grad who changed majors at end of freshman year to a completely different field, completed the new major in 3 years graduating on time, but wasn't eligible for internships for summer 2020 since was essentially "a freshman" then, and made every effort to get on summer 2021 but it was challenging.  However my kid had a plan, continued to work the job they had worked since HS and worked it summer and every break they were home.  Kid landed a job finally in March, but had a plan in case they didn't.  They were going to become a manager at the job they'd worked for 5 years during HS and during breaks in college, while they continued to search for a job in their field.

However, most college graduates should have a plan for what to do if they don't have a job.  What additional courses they might want to take, do they join americorps/peacecorp, do they go for a graduate degree?  More importantly they need to regroup and determine what their goals are and find a path to achieve that[/quote]

Bull crap. Nobody was impacted last summer. Kids were making out like bandits for basically fake internships over zoom.[/quote]

Well if you were not looking for "fake internships over zoom" many students were impacted.  Perhaps not any you knew, but I knew many.
