[QUOTE="John O'Brien, post: 39915, member: 390"] Re: Interns, and the use thereof [COLOR=#222222]I was an intern this past summer, and can tell you that if I ever owned a company, I would utilize as many of them as I could. Assuming I could find the right people. The owner of the company knew my circumstances, and knew that I needed some sort of income throughout my time there(3 months) as I was about to get married and had some financial needs to take care of. They were extremely helpful. While I only got paid for shows(we're talking 8 dollars an hour here and I certainly did not go out on every show) and my shop time was free for them(shop was over an hour from where I lived), the experience was 10000% worth it. I got really lucky and did some awesome shows. So yes, I worked for much less than minimum wage, but agreed to this knowing it would be something that would take me farther than doing nothing over the summer. I think in the case talked about above, there probably wasn't the strongest relations between the person who 'hired' the intern and the intern themselves. I'm also curious to know if there was ever a contract signed by the folks involved here, or any paperwork at all for that matter. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
