[No Truce With Kings]

And, by the way I *never* worked an unpaid internship or let my kids work an unpaid intership. If your services are useful you should be paid for them. YMMV but I think, despite Stossel’s opinion, that unpaid internships are a scam.

that unpaid internships are a scam

Agreed, however, with hindsight, I'd still have taken one. Got a degree in Electrical Engineering, looked for over a year for a EE job and no one would take me without any formal experience. Any kind of an internship would have made that transition easier.

So instead, I went into computers and that's paid my bills for the last 20-ish years. I guess I can't complain.

Instead of interning, I worked college summers as a Convention Coordinator. Ultimately, that was more valuable than an internship, I think, because it taught me how to deal with people.

But, at the time and after being told for four years... "Yeah, you'll graduate. No problems finding work. Engineers make a ton of money, too!" .... no work was a little hard to swallow.
