(Vent) my Community College REQUIRES you do to an internship or they won’t let you graduate

And I'm here to bitch about that. Because first of all, do they assume we all have time for that? And 2nd of all, I have spoken to my school multiple times about having a medical disability and that I might not be able to complete an internship and their “solution” was to push me into doing an unpaid internship with the school, but sure enough I had to drop out of that quarter due to medical issues and I lost the internship opportunity. And now I'm here on my last quarter of school and I'm probably not going to graduate because of this ridiculous internship requirement. I'm an honor student, multiple scholarships, and I've worked really hard for this diploma. I haven't seen anywhere online where it's the norm to force students into an internship in order to let them graduate… not even universities seem to have this requirement.…

Also the “website” my school gives you to search for an internship is filled with only tech jobs from Amazon and Tiktok which isn't even relevant to anything I'm studying. So thanks for absolutely nothing. College is a scam.
