[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wait a minute. This is OP immediately above, right? So you start out saying your high school daughter needs to miss a week of an internship, and it's not paid, weak health excuse, it's only one meeting, etc. etc. but NOW you tell us that 74 other HS kids did not get the job? Damn right, she should do the work. Think of those 74 who didn't get that job. My DD - in high school - was the first high schooler ever to get an internship, unpaid, on a Senate Committee. It IS work for the Committee to run these internships. It IS of more value for the student than for the employer. It is a courtesy of the highest level and my DD worked damn hard to get it and no way is she going to flounce in there and say she's not showing up because of some family vacation. We are having no family vacation this year because of of one college student in a great paid (poorly) (but paid) gig in her field and the other, [b]a high-schooler, in the Senate.[/b] Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get some of these elite internships and especially a paid one in your designed field? Of course the internships and career investments come first - that's how both got into top universities. Hard work. OP is one lucky parent and should count her stars that her kid beat out 74 other kids for this internship and support her daughter to do a good job, be respectful, and get a good reference out of the experience.[/quote]

The Senate -- is there an easier job anywhere? Ask all those elderly Senators -- Im talking to you Bernie! The only thing is the interns have to watch out for predators like Bill Clinton.
