Two years ago, I decided to make a significant change in the way I valued myself and the way I wanted others to value me. I realized that the implications of an unpaid internship are not uniform across the industry (though they should be), and that some of the biggest names severely abuse the position. While some studios may not even realize they’re in the wrong, I’m sure there are some that choose to turn a blind eye when it keeps their bottom line looking good.
I will preface this article by saying that it is not intended to hurt or demean any business or individuals. It is merely a record of my experience in a truly dissatisfying internship experience, and how I chose to address that situation. Names have been changed to protect the identities of the employees, interns & businesses.
