Dunno if Americans have this but almost every degree at my university is “co-op” which means every other term is a paid full time job you have to seek out and get. And you have no summers. The result is that I graduated with two years of real work experience.

It’s a total game changer. It blows my mind how people can graduate with a degree and have no guarantee of any work experience. No idea how you turn that into a career.
