On Recollections of an Unpaid Intern
"If she’d remained quiet, she probably could have gotten a full-time job based on the “Hearst” on her résumé. Now, she’s likely blacklisted. For the Black Swan interns, I have an equal lack of pity." If you're being exploited, never try to change things. It will only make the people in power mad at you, and that's your fault.

On What's an Unpaid Internship Worth?
@chic noir Exactly! Besides essentially marking entire industries as "rich only," unpaid internships depress wages across entire segments of the economy. They've basically turned being paid for your labor from a right into a privilege. Why hire anyone if you can get someone to do the same work for free?
