The recent plague of joblessness has certainly hit the college age student the hardest. A vicious cycle has seemed to emerge and, unfortunately, become the norm for college students.
The cycle being: You need experience to get a job, and to get that experience usually involves dedicating a large chunk of your time working for free.
Internships are usually the experience outlet that more and more colleges have built into graduation requirements, and those internships are typically unpaid.
Now don’t get me wrong, the experience and skills you (hopefully) pick up during an internship are invaluable, but why do colleges and universities charge you credit hours for an unpaid internship typically off campus with no professor in sight?
