Love Puppy, Unpaid internships

soupsoup:jackieheartsb:jessicagoldharalson:marco:

Everyone has read this on their dashboard by now. My two cents? I took an unpaid internship for a high profile designer. I lived in a dorm, had a $50/week allowance and would have never, ever got my current job/starting salary if I didn’t have that experience. The payment was in the portfolio I had after leaving that place, which was a million times more valuable than $12.50/hr. Bonus points for getting connections in the industry.
