My Motives Are Questionable

I just wrote this line into an email:

I never took an unpaid internship except for once at a recording studio and that’s just because it was full of boys and semi-celebrities recording music.

I had to stop and read it a few times before continuing on. I was shocked at how naturally it came out since most of the time I forget that I even worked there, much less pondered the reasons I was there at all.

But seriously, if you’re not being paid, shouldn’t you be compensated in some other way? All I did was sit at the front desk and occasionally answer the phone, so it’s not like I was learning invaluable skills that would make me a much wiser and competent human being. Unless, of course, we are talking about refining my flirting skills. And in that field, my friend, I was a born natural.
