[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I separate the two: many internships can be real/valuable. As for research, money almost always changes hands and the credential is purchased. The key example of this is hiring Crimson to help your kid. They are a venture backed, for profit college consulting firm that has international offices. They have these gigs all lined up (for a hefty fee, of course) and the kid just slots on the team. Doesn’t do much. Voila! Research. I am overseas. They have this one guy in a local FB parents forums who posts as if he is a parent. He just has this great idea for you! I think they are popping up everywhere. It’s so gross. [/quote] I have never heard of money changing hands to give someone a research opportunity. (And I am a scientist, and the parent of a scientist). Sounds like some level of corruption that goes on overseas. [/quote]
