What, I lose MY right to volunteer?
Besides it isn’t for nothing. It’s for creds to future employers who would otherwise turn me away. This is like saying universities should pay students for doing schoolwork!
Forced volunteerism isn’t a good thing, it’s closer to slavery than not.
And before you go and say that no one is forcing a person to be an intern... well, that’s the same as saying that no one is forcing adults to try and get a job, they could just laze about and suck off Maw Gubmint’s tit.
Fact of the matter is that adults need to get jobs, so we’ll do d@mn near anything to get one. Forcing free labor out of prospective hires is appalling. For the basic tenant of the labor market is that work=pay.
And this completely destroys it.
