Back in the late 1980’s my summer internship as an EE at Westinghouse was cancelled for economic reasons. I found out two days before my final exams, at which point it was too late to get an internship with another company. I spent that summer waiting tables.
Luckily, the GATech student has parents who own a business where he can work for the summer. It won’t be in his field, but it’s work.
My kid has one semester left and could finish up his Master’s w/night classes in the fall, so he was hoping to find a “real” job now, even though he graduates in Dec. But if he doesn’t find a job, he does have some internship oppertunities open to him. Pay’s not great, but something is better than nothing.
