5 Reasons Unpaid Internships are Unfair
4. Loss of time
In internships related to research or dissertations, students sometimes lose a lot of time. Companies locate certain areas of concern where research work is required and then allocate it to a student who needs an internship in such an area. This student not only loses on his/her studies but also on time. An unpaid internship makes him/her to do lot of work and spend less time on studies. The company in turn gets an employee for free.
5. Stressed mind and body
‘Unpaid” is the word that is the culprit here. It not only wears you down financially but also brings stress to your mind and body. A student has to pay not only his/her tuition fees, transit fare, lunch and dinner but also allocate time for an internship. Where is the life that a 16 year old (a little less or more) must enjoy? All the stress leads to an emotional and physical imbalance.
