O ciclo vicioso dos estágios não remunerados

"Smaller companies, who have no intention of giving a job to an intern at the end of their well earned stint as their company simply cannot afford them. So every few months they take on an intern to perform a would be junior assistant position. Or perhaps they could budget an extra person, but choose not to as well, why pay someone when they can get somebody else to do it for free? Overall, internships create a vicious cycle that narrows graduates hopes of getting that first job."

Agora é que Emily Handford, a Intern dos Wannabe Hacks, falou bem. Resta dizer que também cabe aos recém-licenciados pôr um ponto final neste ciclo vicioso: como é que os meios de comunicação social vão começar a pagar por jovens jornalistas enquanto houver quem aceite trabalhar de borla?
