Question by 8: Is it hard to get jobs out of college without internships?
If I work a couple of part-time jobs after graduating will people think I’m lazy? I was applying to jobs in financial services but now I’m thinking of taking more classes part-time. I guess I am feeling a little lazy or like I don’t know what I want to do.

It depends on the industry, but finance is notorious for being tough to break into without internships (at least, you wouldn’t be able to get the type of jobs or salary your classmates with internships can get). It’s even tougher with a bad economy…especially with all the financial institutions downsizing or going under (Bear Stearns, anyone?).

You should focus on figuring out what you want to do (hint: if you feel too lazy to bother with finance, that’s not what you want to do). Take classes in different career paths that interest you, and see what happens.
