In a bitter mood

it's just so unfair, all that "connection" helping people get their internships. besides the fact of getting there on ur own merit. which few people actually do, everyone else does it by contacts. and just my luck my parents have contacts... in the wrong field.

i know of an arts major doing an internship at kpmg corporate finance. and all he did was tell his parents that he wanted an internship. and that was just one of the many choices he had.

i know of a b-, c+ student who got into layman brothers as a trader just because her dad knew someone there.

i know of someone who's interning at my present company, gets paid $1,500 just because his aunt works there.

why did my dad have to be in the engineering field...
