Great story

I could have used this a few years ago...very good points on internships.

This is smart advice. That is probably the one thing that I would have liked to have had more of at the college level. I did have a good internship and that helped a lot, but I would have liked to had more of a variety of work in my field to better judge what type of career path I wanted to take.

There should also be something in college for kids to learn about office politics and opffice edicate.

I find myself having to work along side some recent graduates and regardless of how smart they are or how fancy of an education they have, they are clueless when it comes to just knowing how to act and how to present themselves in the work place. Which in my opinion is as important at work as work ethic and talent

I think for the students in aprticular who move away and live on campus, being around unemplyed teenages/early 20's college students 24 hours a day causes them to stay very immature. And that attitude doesnt just disapear immediately after graduation. And its very hard for them to understand. Ove found myself having to lend a hand and explain things to them and they just dont get it because its a whole new strange world to them
