Sorry, I should have been explicit (though, I feel I was fairly obvious).

unpaid interships aren't producing anything. If you are getting paid, then it's not really relevant to the discussion of "unpaid internships."



Whatever point you thought you were making, you weren't. And even if you were, it certainly wasn't obvious.


No. I was correct. Interns producing something of value to the company have to be paid, otherwise it's illegal. If you are getting paid, then the discussion doesn't involve you.

Sorry if you don't understand. Your ignorance doesn't make me wrong.


I know, I know, it's everyone else's fault they misunderstood you.


Everyone else?

Regardless, being right has nothing to do with popularity. I mean, enough people watch Fox News. Besides, I'm not the one support unpaid interns doing illegal work. And before you try to chime in with some quip about straw man, unpaid internships are the topic, not paid work. It's what my comment was about. A few people disagreed.

Whatever. Go back to your "popularity makes it right" way of life.
