[Alberta's Child]

When I interviewed prospective entry-level employees in my corporate management days, the two items of greatest interest to me for every applicant was: (1) their college internships and part-time jobs from the age of 16 onward, and (2) their interests outside of the professional field.

I don’t ever remember even asking an applicant for a college transcript to verify their grades.

I was in school in the 1980’s...the only kids that got internships were minorities or kids who had families with pull.
In high school, the dumb kids got out of school early to go to work...quite a disadvantage for the smart kids.
