Completely agree. I understand the desire to find an internship or full-time job while taking a gap year, but I wonder if that’s realistic. Competition is fierce. There’s not a lot out there. A lot of companies are in a hiring freeze, and not even taking on interns due to the uncertainties with the economy. I hope students are securing a position or internship before deciding they will just work for a year. (Unless they are not picky about the job and will even consider working in a grocery store, or other low-wage position.)
