On: Unpaid Internships: Bad for Students, Bad for Workers, Bad for Society

[gm]

Bullshit.

A requirement of slavery is to both be forced to work and not have a choice of where you work (google it).

And don't get me started on moral principles. Moral principles are each person's own. Certainly you do not want to be held to _my_ moral principles, right? Why should anyone else be held to someone else's? If the moral principles are strong enough turn them into law.

The only question that is genuine is the law. So if the law allows unpaid internships, why whine about it?

For the record, I would not be where I am if I had not had a chance to do for free what I now do for a living. But that's just my experience.

And if internships had the relevant laws actually enforced, you would have been paid to do what you now do for a living.

For God's sake, how could you call yourself a moral person if you take 100% of the product of another person's labor, leaving them nothing to live on?
