I think most kids have a job nailed down by now.[/quote]

DD has been looking since Jan '22.  Lot of interviews but no jobs offered so far.[/quote]

What kind of internships has she had during her college career?[/quote]]]

Not the previous poster, but: once again, class of 2022 students often were NOT able to secure internships!  sophomore summer was 2020 so even if they were lucky to have an internship it was 99% likely canceled.  And despite what some think, 2021 internships were NOT back to normal levels.  Many  were given to the cancelled ones from 2020, companies hired less interns since many were still working remotely.   So there is a significantly higher percentage of 2022 graduates who do not have internship experience---they are NOT Lazy.

Covid messed with the key years of college for securing internships.   My DC and their friends spent their junior year managing covid and remotely interviewing for everything available. But only a small percentage (and in certain majors) managed to land internships.   Half have jobs now, 25 % are going to grad school and the other 25% are still searching for a job.   These are kids with Business/engineering/accounting/math/cs/health sciences degrees and 3.0+ gpas from a top 80 university with an amazing career center.    They will all eventually find jobs, but they were definately impacted by Covid and the last 2.5 years.
