[quote=Anonymous]Why are so many people on this thread debating the legality and/or morality of unpaid internships when OP came back and did indeed clarify that her intern was paid? On the other hand, I did an unpaid internship in college and my parents worked extra that summer to be able to pay my living expenses while I was working for free (when I would otherwise be working a full-time paid summer job). Yes, it did help me get my first job and will hopefully help get me into grad school, and I gained a ton of experience/knowledge from that unpaid internship, but I would have much rather been able to land a paid internship (and trust me, I applied to plenty of those too) and not have to burden my parents with my expenses while doing so. If my parents hadn't been so generous, I likely would have gone into a substantial amount of debt while completing my unpaid internship. [/quote]
