Want to "jumpstart your career in the blogosphere" with an internship at one of the world's largest blogs? Arianna Huffington's blog Huffington Post, currently ranked #1 by Technorati, has an opening. But there's a catch: you have to pay at least $15,000 ...
Forget a paying internship. Forget working for free. You're going to have to fork over more than $13,000 if you want to intern at HuffPo.
Oh, and did we mention you'd only be there for two or three months? At least you get to pick which office you'd work at -- New York or D.C.
Incredibly, so far 10 people have bid on the internship, which is "valued" at $500, on online auction site charitybuzz.com. HuffPost founder Arianna Huffington donated the internship.
What kind of employees are you going to get who can afford to work free? Well-off cupcakes whose Mommys and Daddys can pay their bills for 2 years have an instant in while anyone who has to scramble to pay the rent is locked out of even getting started.
That's why you have the type of people who dominate the press today....
Critical thinking is a great tool that everyone should learn. Blind liberal bashing for the sake of bashing is asinine as is conservative bashing.
Twisting truth is only possible when there is truth, the opposite to that is faith which apparently can't be touched. Atleast I think that is what they tell themselves.
As for paying for internship, this makes sense. It's on the job training, with incentive to do a good job. Lots of people want the spot because "Huffington Post" on the resume is worth its weight in gold for journalism.
everytime i see Jim Backus on an old TV show or an old movie, i laugh at TH III. what a great character, just like Jethro and Barney Fife.
TH III in THX1138 !
Plus, it's all liberal-looking, which doesn't appeal to me.
I'm surprised someone would pay a ton of money for that.
Skidworth: Give me a break. Conservatives have done everything they can to break the backs of America's working class who do the real sweating and toiling. I just feel sorry for the workers who vote against their own best interests to elect these people based on some non-existent ideology.
