interns can be a great asset... if they bow down.

when i was an intern i had to show my boss how to do shit. i dont claim to be "all knowing" by anymeans .... but they were clueless on in a lot of situations

this is exaclty the type of attitude that makes interns worth less than the hair fuzz from the crack o' my ass.

That was to "liblaleg" or something (can't read name now this window has appeared over tha thread).
You're all very very stupid to not realise how much fresh talent can teach you stale, jobsworthy "macusers". It's arrogant and so, so wrong to think you're better than someone because of your actonscripting knowledge, or that you know your way around a server.
Get real.

i was paid in tequila, goldshlager, an apt with no hot water, and no kitchen.
it worked out. I liked to drink, it was a hot summer, and i always ate burritos from the mex place across the street.

inerns deserve nothing. even if they have skills, they still need to learn the business and that's something you can't get in college, a place where you PAY to learn... interns are scum of the earth, less than dirt. they need to be humbled and humiliated to the point of groveling for scan work. they are the pebble shaped fecal droppings of rabbits.

I think a non paid work experience or Internship is plain wrong (unless you're actually still at university). An apprenticeship is the right way to do this.
Advertising agencies are fifty times worse than design agencies. Ad agencies seem to relish making potential employees sweat for a position, and then pay them fuck all when they get one, keep them on short term contracts, give them loads of crap like "you're really important to us" whilst the upper management get paid £££ and hold huge parties!

The system of interns bothers me for a long list of reasons but the exclusion of designers from disadvantaged backgrounds is near the top. Not all creative people have rich parents....

of course they should be given a little something, for modest purposes i'd insist on a certainly slipping them something quietly for their troubles.
i make sure all my 'interns' as you say are adequately seen to, maybe a sly back hander or a straight up, face to face 'deal'- that sort of thing. one thing they can't say is that as a boss, i like to give.

drinkin, partyin, etc etc all that's fine, but business is business. And of course i'm talking from my own experience.
and it's Professor Batts!

but then again, if you're not being challenged.. one may tend to look elsewhere for some satisfaction.. drinking seems to help quite a bit, as does chasing gals!
whinge - whine , yes
shit - shite, too right!
- woodyBatts0
thanx smell!
unfortunately I find its a cycle, meaning you wind up working for/with people who have a lack luster work ethic and F**K everything up because they don't know when to say "gee maybe I shouldn't go out drinking, because I have a 8:00a.m. deadline tomorrow"
it's a vicious cycle!

I meant that I've noticed the word "whinge" on these boards, and does it mean the same as "whine"? If so, I enjoy it, like I enjoy "shite" instead of the US "shit"
