You havn't thought this through, unpaid internships massively massively favor kids unpaid internship at an IB or similar high status job- poor BAME kids or kids from a middle class back ground wont get a look in.
- Consultant32452 8y agoTo the extent that employers might prejudice against bame kids, do you think raising the cost for employers to try them out helps that situation?
- walshemj 8y agoIt stops rich kids monopolizing the desirable internships which are a pathway to high status/paying jobs - which is a start.
- Consultant32452 8y agoYou mean the rich kids who already have the connections to get the better paid internships to begin with?
- walshemj 8y agoDon't think you read the thread - The really desirable internships are the unpaid ones at high status places where its who you know that counts no what you know.
- Consultant32452 8y agoI have read the thread. I agree that high status unpaid internships will largely go to already wealthy, connected candidates. I fail to understand how paying a wage to those wealthy already connected candidates will help the BAME kids.
