The number of unpaid internships has climbed in recent years, leading officials to worry that employers are illegally using interns for free labor.
This is an interesting article about unpaid internship and how some poor students are being exploited. While students apply for a scholarship hoping to gain some real professional work experience, they end up just learning how to make the perfect cup of coffee for Supervisor A.
As a student who definitely takes advantage of the opportunities offered by internships, this is something to worry about. After all, if I wanted to be making someone's coffee every day I might as well apply for Coffee Bean - at least I'll get paid!
