[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a fan of volunteering. [b]If people are working, they should be paid for it.[/b] Take a look at how much the leadership of these orgs get paid. It's a lot, usually. Then they run it on unpaid interns and volunteers and poorly paid fellows or entry level positions. [/quote] Volunteering lets people set their own terms/interests, to an extent (barring "They aren't using my skillz!" folks). A big part of employment is having to accept the parts of the job you don't like, from working 40+ hours a week to tedious tasks that loom over our heads while we do the parts we do like. Unpaid internships are garbage, though. Don't pay people in exposure or experience unless landlords, utilities, and grocery stores start accepting exposure for payment[/quote]
