internship suck , whether you ’re in New York , LA , DC , or wherever . You do menial work for nominal defrayment ( or none ) , all in the name of experience . AtFoxconn , it ’s about the same — but you get free living accommodations and more money .
Motherboard relaysthe research of Ross Perlin , writer of Intern Nation , which chronicles the sprightliness and times of Foxconn ’s interne . And holy god , there are a lot of them :
Foxconn say it relies on as many as 180,000 interns during the summertime months to fill the need of the ravening beast of westerly appliance need – and the essential of companies like Apple , Amazon , HP and nearly every other major electronics brand . The Hong Kong - based Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior ( SACOM ) , a longtime critic of Foxconn , forecast the figure is much higher , and that houseman have at time made up as much as a third of the ship’s company ’s 1.3 - million - strong workforce , or 430,000 interns .
430,000 medical intern ! Gizmodo , by comparability , has two at the moment . One of them is n’t even here today . Now yes , the internships are allegedly “ manufacturing plant labor by poor scholar ” and is forced upon these Kyd by threats of university exclusion . But ! countenance ’s turn our aid back westward .
In the US , if you want the unspoilt shot at a whitened collar job , the internship has become requisite . Say you want to work at a magazine . This entails relocate to New York , regain living accommodations for an entire summer , compensate for your universe in New York , and then doing drudgery for a probable asshole during hot calendar month — the only interesting project I call back from my last internship necessitate take a giant guitar to the Post Office . I do n’t remember why .
And the intact western internship racket presumes you even get the spear — you’ll be competing against every other aspiring _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in the nation with the luxury of ferment for Arachis hypogaea or free all summer . It ’s a largely screwed up , possibly illegal system that puts the majority of American students at a disadvantage because their parent wo n’t yield for them to be bourgeois hard worker .
Now back to China . manufacturing plant labor under inhuman stipulation is unforgivable . But ! Foxconn intern are say to garner half of what fulltime employees make ( you wo n’t find that in America ! ) , are offer free housing , and “ cheap prostitutes tend to set up shop just outside the factory . ” It could always be worse .
