MARKET STATE OF AFFAIRS• Career center budgets average $10/STUDENT • < 50% of students EVER use career centers• < 50% of career centers do ANYTHING to provide
direct support for internship placements• ONLY 22% of career centers are “high-touch” with
employers• The annual cost of higher education = $6K / $23K• There’s no time to waste; we are doing this now.

I am NOT an economist
Economic stimulus is to PUT money in consumers hands
Instead, we saddle with loans, high tuition, debt, up to 6 tuition credits for internship and THEN we don’t pay them.
It makes NO sense.
