>...a junior majoring in history and French at the University of Michigan, had an eight-week internship at a bridal boutique in Paris arranged by Global Experiences. Ms. Friedberg said that the internship, which cost $10,000, was a great learning experience but the grunt work, like serving tea and coffee to customers, got repetitive, convincing her she did not want to work retail.
Do French majors really think their best post-grad option is to be a store clerk in a France?
- steve-howard 12y agoIt sounds like these students are getting degree credit for the work. My school had a strict policy against that sort of thing, but you doubtless get much better at French when you spend a lot of structured time in France.
- screwedup 12y agoI guess that's legit if the purpose is language immersion. The article made it sound like she was paying to find out how much she'd enjoy selling clothes.
- tormeh 12y agoThat's just a scam.
