How Internships Replaced the Entry-Level Job

In the middle of the summer internship season for many companies in the U.S., Thursday is — at least according to WayUp, a job-hunting platform for college students and recent grads — National Intern Day. As part of the company's celebration of interns, six people will earn a $750 cash prize for intern excellence. That's a significant amount of money, though it's dwarfed by the thousands of dollars it may cost to do an unpaid internship, in terms of living expenses.
