More on internships

By Paul Stagg

Mark Cuban on why he doesn’t respond to internship requests.

Short version: they are illegal. Your government at work. You are not allowed to voluntarily produce anything for someone else in exchange for the experience. Forcing these jobs to be paid doesn’t get more people in the jobs paid, it gets less people in the jobs.

Pretty simple concept, to me. Apparently not to lawmakers.
