Just about every college student, in certain majors, gets an internship. It's a fact of professional life that you have to sacrifice your time at some gig with the hope that after crawling through a river of garbage and remedial work, you come out on the other end of the summer with some solid resume credentials, a reference or two, and incalculable experience about how to make it once the sympathetic training wheels come off. In the publishing world it's common not to pay your interns because not only is money tight, but most interns aren't going to publish anything as they're busy supporting the content creators, writers, and editors. So it's rather fitting that Ivanka Trump would have her interns write about how to live fabulously in New York while being treated like slaves.
I was a non-driven student who was certain he could get into any college he could afford, i.e. state college. As a result, grades and extra-curricular activities weren't high on my list. So worked as a "processing specialist"* in the fruit industry between y junior and senior years and between senior and college.
* I sorted fruit, unloading crates and pulling out the bad ones for a $1 an hour.
Trying to put down Ivanka Trump should be like shooting fish in a barrel. Unfortunately this writer has no idea of what he's talking about. He can't even make a cogent argument about the evils of internships. Part time jobs make your life worse? Arguing that the reason students live in the city is for the culture as opposed to the cultural wasteland that is the suburbs? You live in the city because A: It's close to school and B: It's where the jobs are. What argument are you making here? I expect more in the way of some intelligent writing from Wonkette.
You have no idea....(pre-Prozac Homero woulda taken you seriously but pre-Prozac Homero would not have recognized the dignity and humor behind his South American drunken anti-hero persona)
good one!
I was the "old guy" at the office where I worked, and it was great. I had a boss that respected me and co-workers who understood that i KNEW IT ALL.

My interest level that first semester (1963) so high I finished with 15.5 units and a 1.0 GPA.
How did you keep warm in the wintertime in that box?
Was in a SeaBee battalion about the same time, and was amazed at how well fed the Air Force was, and how nice their facilities were.
Will we have to ride around in those funny looking horse-drawn wagons?
I'm not so sure I would want "interned for Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign" on my resume.
Take responsibility for yourself and quit blaming something as simple as the mail. What a loser.
Than they weren't really interns.

Anyone else notice how two-faced Ivanka is?

Of course!

I suspect Ivanka Trump introduces her unpaid interns to "friends" with whom they can "socialize" all expenses paid.
