Depends on the internship. Mine with the Brooklyn Heights Press reporter many years ago allowed me to cover interesting unusual stories (including few murders) won me an award from a professional media organization and launched me on a journalism career. Also, this guy infinite describes isn’t exactly being “exploited” because he’s volunteering at this point. He does sound to be a bit over-enthusiastic, tho. However you never know where it may lead for him.
I’d like to hire a few interns to work under me.
“Mine with the Brooklyn Heights Press reporter”
About when was that ENY?
He’s 17? it’ll be great for his college application.
School are getting crazy picky these days. You’re app. needs to stand out.
Or now I’m really gone…
jester, seems very Tom Sawyer of you!
Rob, interns get paid in sex.
