<p>Homer, if what you say about Diddy’s people is true, that’s really sad. My daughter has been doing unpaid internships in the music industry & there is no laughing-behind-her-back going on. She has gained extremely valuable work experience, along with learning what she does & does not like in terms of work within this industry. She is more aware of what it’s really like than she would be otherwise. She has met musicians & made industry contacts. She has gone to awards shows. She never took the place of a paid employee, although she did do work that benefited the firms. In a nutshell, she may not have earned money … but she got “paid” in many other ways.</p>
