Views From The Potomac: Honestly, who needs fighting thru crowds to catch a glimpse of giant pandas when you can see a red panda instead

I posted a screen shot of an absurd internship position at the smithsonian zoo located in DC that advertized:

-unpaid

-no housing provided

-no free parking

-30-40hrs/week for 3 months

And I had an obscene amount of french peeps message me asking if that was actually legal. In France, an internship that lasts more than 30 days has to be a paid position. I had to tell them that, unfortunately, yes that was very much legal and extremely common across the US. And that, most if not all zoo internships are usually as demanding and are unpaid. They had no words. This internship is basically paying for work.

I don't know what needs to be done but the wildlife field really needs to put these sorts of position behind. Only rich people can apply to these and gain the experience, leaving everybody else struggling to find a way to gain experience.
