![]() Sorry but I have to bite at this one. I'm sure LL didn't just decide on having unpaid interns; the criticism is more general.
But yea, there's already a big enough socioeconomic divide when it comes to higher education, but now we're throwing into the mix the ability to afford to live unsupported in New Jersey to get experience. It's terrible, also, that a state entity would exploit people that way. That corrupt state can afford the $15/hr for an intern.

![]() IANAL, but the link does not apply. We don't get any financial benefit from this, and we don't get interns in lieu of paid employees. I actually end up spending more hours training the person (who leaves in 2 months) than I would spend doing the work myself. I do it because I enjoy teaching and helping actuarial students. If I stop giving my time for this program, it pretty much ends.
I will not be responding further.

Instead, my criticisms are directed at the general concept of unpaid internships. In my opinion, offering unpaid internships is an abhorrent practice that preys on young people’s desire for experience at all costs. Paying $8/hour, or whatever the NJ minimum wage is, just seems like the ethical thing to do. |

![]() I think what you're doing is great. Personal question that you can ignore if you want - if you live in the Philly burbs, how do you qualify for a state job in NJ? Thought you had to live in NJ to have a state job in NJ. |
