George youve never heard of a paid internship? Wow, what school did you go to? Our school encourages us to never do free internships. If you look at my past posts you will see I was asking for advice last year about what to wear on an interview to a MAJOR sneaker/fashion company..which I worked at the entire summer. I am sure you own a pair of their shoes.
They paid $25 dollars an hour, and my housing for the entire summer. We lived in one of those Marriot hotels with apartments inside, and I shared a 2bd/2b with another intern. I also got to go to NY 3 times on their dime. Plus they paid for my drive back from the east coast to the midwest. They had 20 interns last summer across all departments(brand, shoe, HR, legal). Both of my other internship were paid almost just as well.
Just because you arent in the know, or you did slave work for free, doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
Also my username has nothing to do with me not wanting to work. I just needed advice on whether too many internships may look bad.
Geez get a grip.
