Re: free work
by Mike Cohen on May 7, 2009 at 1:01:34 am

When I graduated college, this was before the internet, there were a few ads in the Boston Globe, looking for people to do deferred payment work on films. Deferred payment means never getting paid.

The best advice for young people starting out is, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. Also, there is no free lunch. Also, watch your back because nobody is watching it for you."

Internships are free work which can help you get a paying job. But unless you have income, or the free work is a labor of love, just say no.
