Shawn Read's insight:

Metro Morning on CBC.  Students should be paid for the work they perform.  Many of the media companies are making millions of dollars and to not pay a student is simple exploitation of our youth.  

 

Theory to practice is very important to a students overall education and there are established university programs offered across the courntry.  Co-operative Education, Apprenticeships, Service Learning, and Practicum are well established programs that are directly linked to a students education and this is what we should be promoting to students and employers.  

 

Unpaid Internships are simply work for no pay and discriminate against students who are not financially well off.
