Between undergrad and masters, I have had eight.Also, how many of ya'll have actually had internships?
Not 8 but as have I. My only point is I wasn't exactly working on ground breaking work and despite being an excellent performer was overpaid in every case.Between undergrad and masters, I have had eight.
Got paid for every single one
Did you intend to prove my point? I am providing internships to people for them, not me. I don't view them as productive members of my team and any contribution is a plus. I work in a highly competitive field and jobs are already scarce to begin with. I have a list a mile long of people who would love to come work for my company.okay but that's the same thing with anyone you bring into your company and with turnover costs it behooves YOU to hire well.
if they don't do what you pay them for, stop.
the time/labor of any employee makes your business more profitable...you run an income venture not a community soup kitchen.
you get labor AND profit.
the employee gets experience AND money.
this is the employment structure.
people's time and attention cost.
fin.

This idea that someone shouldn't be able to voluntarily offer the experience to someone who voluntarily chooses to work for the experience instead of pay is a foreign concept to me. We can do what we want around here.

I think you are failing to see how valuable the experience is to people. Especially as we move away from traditional schooling, these internships are going to be more and more valuable. As I said before, give me hands-on experience all day over a bookworm.I mean...then don't.
nobody's mandating you give factory tours.
if you see value in someone's employment, employ them...if not, don't. that's all my beef.
anything else you do is...your business.
I don't believe in unpaid internships. One semester I got an internship in government and worked 25-30 hours a week only to get a signed copy of the House rep's book and a $10 subway giftcard lol
I think there can be some exceptions too though...some non profits just can't afford internships like that and are trying to fill in that gap by having as a robust intern experience as possible. For the most part though most of these for profits should be paying they interns.

Valuable experience you couldn't get from a book.I don't believe in unpaid internships. One semester I got an internship in government and worked 25-30 hours a week only to get a signed copy of the House rep's book and a $10 subway giftcard lol

14/hr aint **** man. Folks not getting by on thatWhile it’s not much it’s at least enough to cover the cost of transportation and lunch.
It would suck to literally pay to work for someone else.
In Toronto (Ontario) minimum wage is $14
Canada wide is $11
While I agree, and they should have upped it to $15 before Ford kiboshed that.14/hr aint **** man. Folks not getting by on that
You see how much taxes they take? F the cra
