    Today I was asked why we should bother paying interns if they’re “getting experience for their résumé.” Here’s what we have say about that: pic.twitter.com/vbHoMTLDI3

        no place i worked for free could afford to pay me, and all were respectful of my time and outside professional commitments (aka coffee shop... to “pay the bills”). i made the choice to intern, and the choice changed my life.

        At 19, interned @WhiteHouse as a poli sci major at Berkeley. Convinced me not to pursue a gov’t career. At 21, dropped out of Cal temporarily to start a company. That’s how I started my real mktg education At 23, built AR app with eng friends, got over 1M+ DLs. Got me into tech

        They'll simply not hire any interns. A lot of people want to do internships because they get to gain experience. If the government demands that they're paid, they simply won't get the internship, which is bad not only for the company but also the potential interns.

        I also interned for free for a year next to college at 20-21... Was one of the most valuable things that ever happened to me.

        This is basically the only thing I agree with her on. I know many people who have wanted to intern in Congress but cant afford to live in DC for free. The only reason I was able to intern on Capitol Hill was because a fellowship paid for me to be in DC.
