I applaud your daughter's willingness to try crying to get those fluids going .

Corporate college internship programs are likely to be very understanding and work with her schedule. Start and end date are probably negotiable and recovering from Covid & travel paperwork shouldn't be a ding against willingness to work. My coworkers and I have seen our tech corp interns get the best parties, goodies, nice fully paid corporate apartments (which we consider too expensive for our budgets), different start & end times due to school terms & vacations, and have dedicated HR staff who seem to be at all their events in case there are issues or questions. We totally envy them!

I'd plan for the least stressful departure option and stick to it to minimize the stress around uncertainty, though I understand leaving from Dublin airport can be a long slog these days. Still, your son was able to make his flight?
