#105 Unpaid Internships
July 20, 2008 by clander
In most of the world when a person works long hours without pay, it is referred to as “slavery” or “forced labor.” For white people this process is referred to as an internship and is considered an essential stage in white development.
The concept of working for little or no money underneath a superior has been around for centuries in the form of apprenticeship programs. Young people eager to learn a trade would spend time working under a master craftsman to learn a skill that would eventually lead to an increase in material wealth.
Using this logic you would assume that the most sought after internships would be in areas that lead to the greatest financial reward. Young White people, however, prefer internships that put them on the path for careers that will generally result in a DECREASE of the material wealth accumulated by their parents.
For example, if you were to present a white 19 year old with the choice of spending the summer earning $15 an hour as a plumber’s apprentice or making $0 answering phones at Production Company, they will always choose the latter. In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.
White people view the internship as their foot into the door to such high-profile low-paying career fields as journalism, film, politics, art, non-profits, and anything associated with a museum. Any white person who takes an internship outside of these industries is either the wrong type of white person or a law student. There are no exceptions.
If all goes according to plan, an internship will end with an offer of a job that pays $24,000 per year and will consist entirely of the same tasks they were recently doing for free. In fact, the transition to full time status results in the addition of only one new responsibility: feeling superior to the new interns.
When all is said and done, the internship process serves the white community in many ways. First, it helps to train the next generation of freelance writers, museum curators, and director’s assistants. But more importantly, internships teach white children how to complain about being poor.
So when a white person tells you about their unpaid internship at the New Yorker, it’s not a good idea to point out how the cost of rent and food will essentially mean that they are PAYING their employer for the right to make photocopies. Instead it’s best to say: “you earned it.” They will not get the joke.

“In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.”
Come now, that’s not quite true… they might take the plumbing job if it was leading towards an end-of-summer opportunity to install plumbing in a poor village in a third world country.
Only idiotic hipsters can be unpaid and still pay rent some how. How do they do it?

A thousand times NO!!! Installing plumbing in third-world homes is something that is useful. White people only go overseas to teach people how to be like them.
because most skilled trades aren’t white?

Uuuuuuh, that job is called “The Peace Corps”.
Don’t forget the Greenpeace.

Hilarious. I’ve never understood how an unpaid internship counts as “experience”, but whatever. This piggy-backs onto your whole notion of liberal arts educations being pointless which I don’t agree with, but which I do find funny to read about — keep it up!

“In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.”
Quite possibly clander’s best quote ever.
Whites should never demean physical labor, nor pass it off to non-Whites, because the offspring of the “laborers” will flood the school system and then Whites will be forced to flee from the children of the laborers they hire.
It’s folly.
Never, ever demean the trades. That a jewish characteristic.
jesus was a jewish carpenter.
peace and love,

Jesus rejected golden-calf worshipers, their laws, their corruption, their racism, their tribal hate of others….and he kicked the greedy jew moneychangers out of God’s temple.
you don’t know your Christianity very well.
True!
This is a good one also….

Or if they could wear outdoor clothing whilst plumbing the homes of the less fortunate in Portland.
You call them less fortunate; I call them the ones who served without pay as an intern for their low or non paying job. Maybe the word lazy comes to mind.
exactly! …like in some remote village inAfrica. Then, they would set up a blog, complete with pictures, about the hardships they endured while helping to install said pipes!
Completely and utterly correct. Though it seems these unpaid internships are nearly the only type available these days. As a college student myself I find I have to work minimum wage job completely inapplicable to my choice of profession so that I spend the summer working for someone who is not willing to pay me for my services.
this is pure truth.
Here’s one that I believe is unique:
1) Charcoal grey fleece pullovers from The North Face.
2) Sperry shoes.
You can add those to your next volume. Holla.
Read harder. 1) was shown under performance clothes.
I would forward this to my boss if it wouldn’t get me fired.
what would you lose?
I would do the same. He even had the audacity to ask me to come back for another unpaid summer.
probably becuase he thought you had the stupidity to say ‘yes’
valentin was offered a job at lululemon, and instead insisted on being an unpaid intern. because, he told me, “i really love their pants…”
LOL 3RD POAST
o hai ur only 2 more then 1ts!
Oh yes, and part of the process is the initiation- the allocation of work so meaningless that if there is no intern the work is not performed.
Dead on.
White people view the internship as their foot into the door to such high-profile low-paying career fields as journalism, film, politics, art, non-profits, and anything associated with a museum.
This is right. Just like those White chumps that work for Jews in the “mail-room” of the Hollywood companies.
Marilyn Monroe is one of many Gentile actors who fell under the dominance of a string of Jewish psychoanalysts.
Marilyn’s publicist, Arthur Jacobs, was also Jewish. So were her agents at MCA, Jay Kanter and Mort Viner. Many of the directors of her films were Jews (for example, Billy Wilder of Some Like It Hot and George Cukor of Let’s Make Love). Natasha Lytess, her personal manager and the subject of speculation about Monroe’s rumored lesbianism, was Jewish, from Austria.
Monroe had resolved to sleep with anyone who could help her attain fame and fortune in Jewish-dominated Hollywood.
In olden times,” Upton Sinclair once remarked, “Jewish traders sold Christian girls into concubinage and into prostitution, and even today they display the same activity in the same field in southern California where I live.” Or as F. Scott Fitzgerald summed up the Hollywood scene of his era — “a Jewish holiday, a Gentile tragedy” (Gabler, 2)
In 1955, 20th Century Fox awarded Monroe the richest per-film contract of any actress. “It means,” remarked Monroe, “I’ll never have to suck another cock again!”
wow, you’re really a nazi aren’t you…
Yawn.
Sticks and stones…blah blah.
Sinclair and Fitzgerald were great American writers. Sorry you can’t handle truth, and choose the last resort of the intellectually obtuse: “name-calling”
Run along.
i’m actually a lonely, lonely, lonely person
do I recognize a portnoy’s complaint pseudonym?
u mean #105
Another thing that White People Like is accuracy about minutiae.
I wonder how the Chosen would react if someone flew over Toronto towing a banner about the Holocaust?
