I'm a junior economics major at a top Ivy League school, and I was wondering how important is it for future job prospects that I get a summer
job? I've never had a summer job, just a couple of part time odd jobs around campus during the year. It seems like everyone here feels like they
HAVE to get a summer job. Is it really that important that I work during the summer after junior year of college?
Also, I have NO idea what I'm going to do after college. I don't know if I'll get a job or keep going to school. I find that I'm not that good at
school. My current GPA is a 2.73, and I've been working hard! I just can't seem to bring it up. I also have no extracurricular activities so far in
college. Will this hurt me? Is it important that I have extracurricular activities for finding a job, getting into grad school, etc?
I don't know what kind of jobs I could get or what grad schools I could get into with my GPA. Part of the reason why I majored in economics
was because I thought I would have better job options with it, but my mom says I should at least get a masters degree, mainly because you make more money no matter what you do. Is this true? How would I know that I would do well in law/business/grad school? Can you give me some advice on the
summer job and options for post college life?
