STA reader Missy left such a funny – and truthful – comment on this morning’s Julia Allison intern post that I decided to make the comment its own post:
I find it odd that you Americans hire “assistants” to both pick up dog crap and write articles or work in media.
Whats wrong with you people? I didnt know about this Julia witch, I live at the other side of the world, but reading her stupid NON-BLOG (its not a blog because it does not allow comments, therefore, its just website) I see she’s serious about having an intern with those characteristics.
Im still in awe when I read “FYI: A Non Society intern works with Julia, Mary and Meghan on both a personal and professional level. That means, one day you might be picking up dog for food Lilly and Mason, and the next you’re researching great date spots or the newest gadget.”
what??? I have never heard about internship for taking care of dogs, while being a College student, or a fresh new graduate! Whats wrong with these people?
And what the hell of all! why does she need an intern anyway? She’s just an Internet whore, come on!
Sing it, sister. To be honest, not all Americans do this, but there are plenty of power-mad, selfish jerks out there who seem to think it’s appropriate to make their employees wait on them hand and foot. Ideally, intern and assistant jobs would be like apprenticeships in relevant fields, but when you have lots of people competing for jobs, it’s a lot easier to make them do grunt work alongside their actual projects. That said, no one should ever have to pick up Julia’s dog’s shit except Julia.
