Remember when we were talking about unpaid interns?
This one takes the concept to a new level:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100503/ts_ynews/ynews_ts1902
The interns pay you to let them in.
It may be for charity, but it ensures that the only takers are those with
money.
"Perhaps to offset the appearance that only wealthy interns would get
inside, each publication also created a slot that doesn't cost anything,
according to the RFK Center."
Maybe the next step will be for the rich kids to pay for internships and
then to use that money to fund someone who couldn't even contemplate working
for nothing.
Or is that too confrontational a suggestion?
