Nobody likes needing to go to work, but we do it because it puts money in our pockets and food on our tables, and hey if you can find a job that you don’t totally hate to fill this requirement that’s great.

But what about jobs that you aren’t paid for at all?

Unpaid internships rightfully attract a fair bit of scrutiny in modern corporate America.

Many say that these roles effectively amount to slave labor, where scummy companies are able to take advantage of free workers to do the menial tasks that they would have otherwise had to employ an office secretary for.

Even the best unpaid internship programs at high end technology companies have their critics, for some pretty valid reasons.

And you know, on the surface this looks pretty cut and dry.

A worker should get an honest compensation for an honest days work, that’s just fair, but what if that compensation didn’t come in the form of a pay check?

Well it’s time to learn how money works by defending the indefensible and looking how unpaid internships of all things could actually be the answer to a lot of the problems facing our modern workforce.
