Do you consider an internship real work?

sure it is.. i used to listen to the howard stern show tons, and they always had interns out of the ying yang, and those people worked their asses off.. usually doing some shit job that no paid staff wanted to do, and for free to boot..

internships are good for a resume imo, so long as they are related to what ever you're trying to pursue later down the line urca..

yup it is and does..

ok good. lmao the july heat is killing me, my job is to go door to door and talk to people. sent me into the ghetto today by myself. the people were nice but told me to be careful.

It's very good résumé upholstery. cn

Be careful, and you shouldn't go to places like that alone, and to ask you to do so is very irresponsible of your supervisor. Even if you were getting paid it wouldn't be worth your life. If they can send you, they can send someone along with you when you're sent to sketchy areas.

yeah i know, but they are all fresh from dc and dont know what is a bad area locally.
i didnt think about it, i started on the good side where there were actual homes and ended up in the ghetto apartments. i shouldnt be going alone regardless, but we dont have enough volunteers yet to go in pairs

bring a can of mace if you have to go out alone again. thats not safe. i shocked they are making girls go out alone, guys i can understand

^This guy is wonderful.

Yes it counts, and is a good way of 'getting your foot in the door'.

My ma went from fine art school to a year's unpaid graphic design (unless her sole work was picked, in which case she was paid independently) to working in a film studio at her boss' recommendation.

She's started her own production company with the experience. She also did many apprenticeships quickly out of school so can paint, do CAD, restore furniture, weld, do marbling and what have you. It's always good to practice with a little less of the pressure and commitment of a real job.

Keep up the good work x
