Pumps' Perplexities

To me an "intern" was a doctor doing his/her two years
in a hospital prior to going into a private practice.....

Now an "intern" is someone who wants to work for FREE.....
(Just for the experience of doing so.)......It is a great idea
that has been around for a while but now it is being abused
by certain parts of corporate America........

It was one thing to work in Uncle Jake's shop, for the summer,
to "learn the business"......But Uncle Jake at least paid you
some money for your efforts........

Now a days, you spend $100,000, getting yourself through
college......With all the "student loans" you owe, it now
becomes good for your "resume" to work for FREE as an
"intern" for some company.......

You receive no pay......Just the enjoyment of the experience....
Oh yes, you will get coffee, donuts and pizza on Fridays......

At least Uncle Jake was nice enough to give you movie
money........Suckers.......What ever happened to the phrase,
"Show me the money"?.......Pumps
