My name is John Lago, and I am an intern. I know what you're thinking. Loser. Right? I don't blame you. The word intern triggers many emotional and intellectual responses, most of them negative. But the response I'm most interested in is indifference, which is probably the most common. Intern is spiritually synonymous with inconsequential. After all, and American willing to work like a dog for free is either desperate to make a career change or, more commonly, too green to warrant financial consideration in exchange for labor. Back when we actually made things in this country, it used to be called apprentice. Let's say you wanted an exciting career in the animal husbandry or confectioner trades. You would simply apprentice with a journeyman in one of those fields and learn from experience. Not a bad system. In contemporary society, as we sell our national soul to outsourcing, work has become a compartmentalized system of nonsensical tasks connected by a robot oligarchy posing as progress.
(Yes that is 1 paragraph.)
