Paid Internships

Question by lepetitdejeuner: Is it more important to pursue a lot of internships or have a practical major?
I’m ambivalent about whether to pursue a lot of internships and study abroad or pursue a French degree. I can’t do both. If I do the internships & study abroad, I may need to pursue a social science or communications degree. The problem is, I love French and I want to pursue it, but I’ll have to give up the internships. Which sounds more important?

if you know what to say in an interview you major isn’t an issue. and i think experience will be more beneficial than a concentration. you have to show that you can do the work not just understand the concepts.

Time management is all there is to it and discipline. You need the money, so you need to work. Unless you work for the mob.

Well which one are you going to give up? If you have a modeling contract keep it! You will probably not get work very regularly anyway. You will need to work part time though, if you are at college then no more than 20 hours a week is whats usually recommended. Less with the modeling too.
On the other hand, you only get one chance at life, so go at it with both hands!

Question by Rmm58: Do you think most college graduates can’t find jobs because most hiring managers think they are overqualifed?
Do you think managers will not hire a graduate applicant only to have the applicant leave the job for a better job? Do college degrees hurt instead of help?

I graduated in 2008, and that summer I had a very difficult time finding work. I applied to everything from office jobs to starbucks, but the retail/food jobs said I was over qualified. I lucked out and found an office job (which has nothing to do with my degree), but it was very stressful and frustrating.

Answer by Chelsey
I know that an associates degree takes 2 years, a bachelors degree takes 4, I think masters and PhDs take 6-8 or more. Also…it depends on the classes you take during your college years that distinguish what kind of jobs you can get, basically the only “job” info a degree title can get is the amount of money lol, the more you spend at college the more you earn afterwords(that is depending on the job and such..)
