Turning into an interesting debate.
What do you think about grads working for free "the internship?"
I've had to turn down 3 internships at top, top, top agencies in London due to not being able to live on 100 pound a week. I feel like I've missed out and seriously let some chances slip But avoided adding more debt on to my debt.
At the same time I've done over 6 months of expenses only internships in Manchester and Liverpool. I don't feel like its got me anywhere other than a name on my CV. No portfolio work to show for it, well i guess real life experiences with clients is a plus.I'm still at a loss as to what i think about internships. Some studios just do it for cheap labor and fresh ideas surely? I freelanced at a place who always had at lest 3 interns in at a time. They would not be able to handle the work load without them being their.
- Depends on size - still a tough economy for small studios...most have paid their dues. Always frustrating but kind of a rite of passagebabaganush
