Yes I totally agree that it is quality of quanity. I am just trying to get an average of the hours people are getting. On paper those hours (as unfortunate as it may be) are what recruiters look at. In these times new grads need anything and everything that may make them stand out. I went to a career fair and their were new grads there with portfolios full of certificates for every little thing they did in school. Stupid if you ask me. Those pieces of paper make them no better than anyone else, but recruiters eat it up.

IMHO its all about quality not quantity. I honestly can't tell you how many hours we racked up prior to graduation... Quite a few and they were intense but I learned a lot.
