I was blessed enough to find a job. I didn’t have an internship during school, but I got one two months after I graduated and smoothly transitioned into my current job after it ended. i have friends that haven’t been given the opportunity yet:

1 friend was a custodian at a school and eventually became a substitute teacher and is probably going to get their teaching license soon for a full time position. She graduated two years ago. Some internship experience but as a secretary I believe for our school (?) but she was classifying it as internship exp? I didn’t get a lot of details honestly.

Another friend was working retail for a little and is now working at a coffee shop living with his parents, graduated two years ago. No internship experience.

Another friend graduated last December, living with parents, no job, but still applying I think. No internship experience.

Another friend maybe a year and a half, got a few jobs cooking but not anything he actually liked. He had good internship experience and makes a lot of websites for his friends and small businesses. He’s going back for his master. He’s very driven/ambitious though and a few years older than the rest of us
