Unpaid Intern |
If nobody pays for it, no one gets paid for it |
And who can afford to go unpaid but the rich? |
An unpaid internship is not an opportunity, it’s a risk |
A risk for those without a bedroom in a family home |
Where they can stay rent-free |
Whilst you bleed them to the bone |
I’m sorry this job is only available to those |
Who can afford to go a month without income |
Can’t you see? |
Can’t you see? |
When you open the gates to your massive company do you want a CV? |
Or would the deeds to a trust fund prove more necessary? |
You may only have this work experience if you can afford to work for free |
Can’t you see? |
Can’t you see? |
How this prevents the poor from opportunities? |
Your reputation is not currency! |
Do you know how it feels when the door is shut? |
When there’s no feasible way at all of moving up? |
When every job requires experience and that always is given to someone well off |
Without a dime, how cruel it is to have dreams |
When they’ve sewn up every possibility |
