[Internship Opportunity] Anyone in the Dallas Area?

I'll be going back to UTA after the summer (back home in Houston right now). I'm going to school for an accounting degree (3.78 Gpa). Don't have much in the way of experience in any of the areas you listed though. Let me know if you don't find somebody more suitable...?

 

Dallas sucks.

(Dallas sports teams suck, and the people drive really, really slow but apart from that its aite...)

 

I've always wondered why internships require a candidate must receive college credit. I always felt that if a intern is just seeking college credit he/she wouldn't be fully interested in the subject being learned, but was just using it as a means to serve another purpose (school).

I remember seeing this college credit stipulation back in the day when I was in school, but never knew why it was in place.

Maybe you could shed some light on this?

 

If its not for College Credit they have to pay them.

 

In most of the world when a person works long hours without pay, it is referred to as “slavery” or “forced labor.” For white people this process is referred to as an internship and is considered an essential stage in white development.

The concept of working for little or no money underneath a superior has been around for centuries in the form of apprenticeship programs. Young people eager to learn a trade would spend time working under a master craftsman to learn a skill that would eventually lead to an increase in material wealth.

Using this logic you would assume that the most sought after internships would be in areas that lead to the greatest financial reward. Young White people, however, prefer internships that put them on the path for careers that will generally result in a DECREASE of the material wealth accumulated by their parents.

For example, if you were to present a white 19 year old with the choice of spending the summer earning $15 an hour as a plumber’s apprentice or making $0 answering phones at Production Company, they will always choose the latter. In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.

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.

When all is said and done, the internship process serves the white community in many ways. First, it helps to train the next generation of freelance writers, museum curators, and director’s assistants. But more importantly, internships teach white children how to complain about being poor.

So when a white person tells you about their unpaid internship at the New Yorker, it’s not a good idea to point out how the cost of rent and food will essentially mean that they are PAYING their employer for the right to make photocopies. Instead it’s best to say: “you earned it.” They will not get the joke.

 

Wow.

Nice generalization.

Are you sure by "White people" you don't mean "Anyone trying to live the foolish American Dream"


Not all "white people" are slaves to the Corporate American, Baby-Boom induced quest for Materialism and Status like you make it seem.

 

The OP took this from a popular blog.

 

It sounds ridiculous, whatever it is.

Fundamental introduction to reason and logic classes at any junior college level will teach you that hasty generalizations are one of the first major argumentative fallacies.

 

Hilarious.

 

I don't suppose you'd find this funny, then.

 

Nah, I think thats funny and all... I didn't know the context was taken from that site at first... You never know on this site if somebody is serious or not.

My mistake.

 

As much as I hate stereotypes...you just described me perfectly.

 

Sheesh. That blog is still being quoted? At least have the decency to cite the stupid thing.

 

Damn, I would have loved to intern for the Rockets back in high school.

For one of my undergrad business classes at UT, I got to interview the head of Corporate Accounts for Rockets, just to see what her job entailed, etc. That was the closest I ever got.
