[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been what two weeks?[/quote]

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]

As others have said this poster is out of her mind. Anyone adult who uses the word “sketchy” in such a context should not be listened to. To OP: UVA has an excellent career counseling office. Your child should make contact now.[/quote]

Career counselors weeks after graduating? Ma’am, if the kid didn’t call, zoom or visit that office one darn time in 4 years they aren’t going to now. They are who they are: lazy and unfocused. The only people defending OP’s kid are those with lazy kids of their own. OP and/or the generous financial aid office at UVA just wasted $120,000 educating this young man. And he’s a workshy child.[/quote]

Are you a SAH parent who has never worked?  You don’t seem to understand how college career offices work.

You also don’t seem to have a real grasp of how real people’s careers work.

I graduated with zero office job experience.  I tended bar for a year, then got an MBA at a top ranked school.  Graduated with a job and have worked in multiple fields/jobs.  Not a linear path, but it’s been fun and very lucrative.

Your notion that all is lost if a kid doesn’t have a job at graduation is just silly. [/quote]

If what you said is true you’d realize how abnormal that “path” is.[/quote]
