Due to the frequency of internships occurring in the potential work life of students on Planet College this site has occasionally posted explanations and updates about this subject. The original post here generally explains internships and your possible position with a company. Subsequently Planet College posted an update here.
Since those posts at least one lawsuit has been filed by former interns. Reviewing the details of the complaint, which has been filed as a class action lawsuit, may clarify for you when such 'internships' become intolerable.
Recent and ongoing difficulties for students and even graduates with degrees to obtain any employment at all in their particular fields, fashion and media come immediately come to mind*, have led many desperate job seekers to accept "internships' in their field. Internship, Planet College emphasizes DOES NOT MEAN unpaid grunt. If you are considering or are already in such a position now, available here are the Federal Governments guidelines for internships. Please peruse them promptly.
*The lawsuit referenced above involves over a hundred workers for a film
production company on a film which grossed a very large sum of money, over a hundred million dollars, internationally and received numerous awards including an Oscar for the leading lady.
