I am pretty much working full time for nothing, in fact minus nothing if you count past tuition fees. I really dont think any one should be expected to work for free, I think interns should be paid at least minimum wage, they work so hard often without even a thank you. BTW Red mag has an adult intern competition going for a months paid internships with soem great companies!<br /><br />p.s so glad you made the short list xPearl Westwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310931556911601009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-2138470742343165882010-07-25T17:59:49.083+01:002010-07-25T17:59:49.083+01:00I just read that article too and you're right ...I just read that article too and you're right it's not just the fashion industry, it's 13 years since I was a design graduate and I worked for free for a year before luckily scooping a paid junior designer job. I think if you want it enough you will do whatever it takes, but unfortunately there are always going to be those who will take advantage of that.Delicious Industrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244915640640934316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-39263278350233833922010-07-25T12:44:46.911+01:002010-07-25T12:44:46.911+01:00My Claudia has secured herself some fab work exper...My Claudia has secured herself some fab work experience for two weeks this summer, I am so excited for her!
