our middle son has to do the extra half semester as well. He is a Computer Science major; math minor. He just missed out on am internship (3 interviews) that would have kept him on campus this summer. Instead he will be home; unloading trucks for Target at night; building maintaining webpages by day. One of the interviewers asked why his work history was continually (even @holiday breaks) with the same store since HS. The guy said, to him, too many kids look passed ‘labor’ jobs and spend a couple months here; a couple there.
WTG, Mom!
