A reality check for someone who thought that for-profit companies could hire free labor because what they do is pleasant or quaint. I many ways (except for the tone of “I only wanted to do good!”) it is a very honest assessment.
It would be one thing if an intern hangs around the farm for a few hours a week, but it would be hard to argue an intern working every day from dawn ‘til dusk isn’t replacing an employee.
Indeed.
