So many kids these days just go to college expecting to get out and be able to get a job , like they sorry in advance grow on trees . They don ' t . I tell all my little cousins and family friends the same thingYou ' re competing against other kids who were interning during terms and during the summer time . There are kids who are going up against you for the same job who now have much more experience than you do because you instead decided to live in your frat house for the summer and take one or two classes to make your termtime workload easier , and that ' s the reason you ' re losing out on the job opportunities you ' re applying for .
