Sorry if i sound like im complaining but im a little fed up with this-

about to finish my sophmore year with a 3.9 in Business/Gov double major and I have been rejected at every internship i have applied for due to "limited work experience"

Idk if anyone agrees with me but I have never had a part time job because I am an entrepeaneur at heart and have made ALOT more money doing little things (even gambling/poker) and I have felt like 7 dollars an hour was never worth my time, especially if it would affect my grades.....now it seems all of this is coming back to haunt me

does anybody else share similar views? should I get a part time job to satisfy other peoples needs (I highly doubt I will though), what ever happened to the days were good grades were enough?

oh ya I might try an experiment where I keep all of my resume the same and then add two part time job experiences and see what happens haha
