Forum Post: No Unpaid Internships!

Another issue -- no more unpaid interns! No more working for free! College internships are a double scam because colleges get paid $ for basically doing nothing, privileged students PAY to work, and there are no jobs for college graduates who can't afford to work for nothing! This idea needs a better slogan then I can come up with right now!

You have a point. There are too many of these out there, making it harder for graduates to get jobs.

no. interning is an apprenticeship, a learning how to do. When you actually DO, then you get paid for it.
Come pick strawberries, amigo. We Mexicans have always found work in the USA available that no one else wants to do because they think they are too good to do it.

I think it has more to do with the low pay than being too good to do it, but I may be wrong.

U dumb twat! My nephew was trying to get an unpaid internship in CA so he could get a little job experience on his resume, but no one would provide them because it violates some BS law there.

So no work experience on the resume? Why do u care if some kid wants to work for free?

Seriously, you are a dumb twat.

Well, if your nephew is anything like you probably no one would want to hire him; people who have no sense of decorum or how to speak respectfully and intelligently on a public forum aren't too desirable.
