“Intern, the modern word for slave labour”-Not quite.a slave is unpaid involuntary laboran intern asks for unpaid laborAlso, by law, the work of the intern must be of no real benefit to the boss or else the intern must be paid at least minimum wage.-Basically, though, an intern is working as a means of both learning a trade inside out and being shown worthy of hiring. (or unworthy)
