Should you start looking for a job in college or after you graduate

In your senior year of college, should start looking for a job?

Is it better to get a job after college or go get your MBA?

If you have an offer after you graduate should you take it without looking for a better job?

Are you in high school?

"Giants123" No I’m college

Oh ok cool. Is it an online program or there are actual buildings you go to for class?

You're so late to the scene, it's not even a joke. I'm a college senior, most of us have been doing internships since freshman year. Typically jobs upon graduation are locked in the summer before senior year. Better late than never, good luck if you wait until after graduation.

Yes true, but it’s not easy to get that full time offer for a job after you finish your junior internship. So in a situation where you don’t get that offer, what do you, how do you leverage your internships in getting you a good job?
