"[...] not old enough to actually hire yet because they're still finishing up the traditional college experience"
Isn't that exactly the definition of what an intern is?
- thebiglebrewski 13y agoYeah, notice how I said "software developers" though. That makes this a lot different than people in other professions...
- rl12345 13y agoSoftware developers interns do software developing related stuff, just as lawyers interns are do law related stuff, and so on. Apart from different market prices for their respective labour, I'm failing to see the difference between supposedly "real" internships and "false" internships according to your definition.
- thebiglebrewski 13y agoThe difference that I see is that a software development intern can occasionally provide an immense level of value immediately upon being hired, whereas many in traditional internships are really just glorified office managers. Just from my experience doing internships in the music business.
