Should companies pay their interns?
The White House is under growing pressure to pay its interns.
As it stands:
- Internships at the White House are not paid.

- Interns should expect to work Monday through Friday 9am to 6pm

Does their argument add up? Or is the experience a student gets worth its weight in gold? After all, you come in with no skills, and you leave with the ability to get a real, good job.
