Read the articles on the issue of paid versus unpaid internships and write an essay (2 pages) in response to following questions:
- Based on the readings and your own experience, do you believe employers make a distinction between unpaid interns and paid employees? Is this fair to interns?
- Comment on the premise of the Williams article (NYT) that internships do not provide a payoff? Do you agree or disagree with this and is the situation different for public service/government internships than it is for business internships?
- Lastly, do you think our system for students transitioning into the workforce is effective? What changes do you think are needed?
