If you take a job as an UNPAID intern, you are a FOOL.

When a company offers UNPAID internships, that means there is a problem either with the industry or with the company.

Unpaid internships are common in industries that naive and stupid bimbos (of both sexes) think are "hot" or "cool".  The employers in those industries take advantage of these stupid bimbos, because these bimbos think that they are "so all that" that they can beat the odds and eventually hit the big bucks. 

99.99%+ of these bimbos would be better off getting that McJob and playing the lottery.  The odds are about the same, and you would at least make SOME money at the McJob.  How about spending some time figuring out how to actually get paid by getting into something else?

Zero wages (an unpaid internship) means that there are so many applicants for every job, that the employers have to pay only $0.00 per hour for workers.

That means notorious instability and frequent unemployment, even at $0.00 per hour.  If you are in, or considering taking, an unpaid internship job, get a f*ing clue.

Internships, in the "bad old days", used to be called apprenticeships. But, back then, an apprentice (intern) at least got room and board.
