Hmm, this seems familiar
“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.”
Ah, yes. Stuff White People Like, you have once again nailed me.
Except one thing. WHAT LUCKY BASTARD GOT A WHOPPING $24,000 PER YEAR AFTER THE INTERNSHIP??? ‘Cause it sho wasn’t me.

Maybe they pay $24,000 on the East and West Coasts?
