[lbo-talk] $15k for an internship!

[Max B. Sawicky]

Paying $15K is a logical extension of having interns work without pay,
which is ubiquitous.  Naturally only the children of the well-off can
afford to do that.  That's why EPI ended unpaid internships years ago.

And a couple days ago I got email inviting me to fork out $30 for the
privilege of partcipating in some orgy of volunteerism with other
scions of
alma mater and some other fine peer institution. Well maybe the $30 is
not
for the volunteer gig exactly but for the T-shirt and after-party. I
am so
not amused and I did not even wade into the rsvp form to see how many
other
reasons to have a tirade there might be.
