I doubt that hs seniors will have an easy time finding meaningful work experience for the coming year. My husband’s hospital furloughed a large portion of employees in all different departments due to lack of people getting non emergent care. Another few health care facilities I know of are on a hiring freeze. So 18 year olds will be competing with seasoned workers for the few available jobs. Any research or internship/projects going on would likely go to current students before being offered to future students. There could be some volunteer opportunities or Amazon/uber eats type jobs but I hardly doubt these would be enough for thousands of college students to defer enrollment.
