      You’re supposed to devote yourself to a year long unpaid internship. Bills? Who cares, you have to live like a slave.

        “Bills? Who cares, you have to live like a slave.”

        Don’t be silly. No-one is expecting you to live like a slave in order to do an unpaid internship — that would hardly be conducive to outputting good work anyway.

        No, no — obviously you’re meant to rely on your family’s wealth.

        Oh, you don’t have family wealth to rely on? Okay, well the simple solution is to just not do the unpaid internship if you can’t afford it. And if that means you aren’t able to secure a paid position, due to lack of experience, then that just shows that the system works! After all, we have to keep the riff-raff out somehow

      It’s more like walking into Google the day after your high school graduation and asking to be the CEO. I’m sure he could have been published if he tried to publish something people wanted to read. there’s barely an audience for the memoirs of real people that isn’t just money laundering. Literally no one would buy it if they published it
