Blackflag (PRO)There has been a movement among college youth. It is a requirement to undergo an internship process in the field you're majoring. Most corporations see this as an ample opportunity. The intern gets experience and the corporation gets free labor. Fair in most peoples eyes, but when we delve deeper, we see more problems arising with the concept. Interns are subject to harder working conditions than employees. All while struggling to live with no pay.
For your average college student, this is a tremendous burden to uphold. Throughout this debate, we will push all the ways in which paying interns would improve the life of the internet and the health of the corporation. We will have convinced you that corporations should ideally be paying their interns by the end of this debate.

My opinion changes based on the wording of the topic. Should companies pay interns? Yes. Should companies be required to pay interns? I really do not think so. Posted 2015-01-08 15:25:46
I think this is an interesting topic. Good arguments for both sides and while I have a slight preference I can be persuaded to go either way on this issue in real life.Posted 2015-01-08 14:37:42
Wow, maybe we should debate this with me as the negativePosted 2015-01-06 06:56:54
Companies should pay a small amount of money to interns because they are doing something to benefit the corporation. In order to motivate any employee to do his or her best work, a company needs to compensate them fairly. If a person is too worried about paying bills or angry that their efforts aren't being recognized, he or she will not be as productive of an employee. For an internship to be successful, an intern should get a small salary for his or her efforts. Additionally, the money can go to pay for their daily needs like shelter, transportation and clothing, so that they can present themselves acceptably for the job. If the company does not want to pay the intern, they should at least provide basic accomodation near the workplace and food, so the intern can survive. Posted 2015-01-05 20:49:55
