12. Internetships

In texts that we supiosed to read for this class two absolutely different points of view about internerships were presented. With one author I absolutely disagree despite the fact that his arguments sound quite reasonable. As to me, as a student, who is likely to go on an internership in next 2-3 years or maybe sooner, I would love to gain a working experience even if I won't be paid. I support the author of the text "No pay? Most students say: "No problem"". And even thought the first author suggests to think reasonably and at the first sight it seems logical, real children' opinions matters much more. I think that it's absolutely fair that internership work is not paid for. To tell the truth, students with no work experience and unfinished education can't really be as useful as other employes. Therefore, paying students is non profitable for students. And if student's aim is gain some money, there are a lot if jobs which don't need any special requirements. So you can apply for this job and earn money. Internership a is more like studying, and are we paid for beeing educated? No, of course. So, it's normal that interns are usually no beeing paid.
