When I was in school, I could not even think about doing an unpaid internship because I definitely couldnt work simultaneously. Especially if it wasnt during the summer. Not just because of scheduling, but because I would not be able to juggle three things.

Nowadays I refer to my experience talking to kids who fell past due on their federal loans. Anytime someone mentioned an internship without pay, theyve fallen behind on bills and just hope they can defer payments.

Poorer kids are more likely to need loans. Even if they CAN manage to do an unpaid internship, their inability to pay on what the burrow before it snowballs is also a concern. Much moreso in the private loan lending, which is what I do now.

Anecdotal, obviously, but thats what I base it from.

Interesting... Would you say those with unpaid internships are more likely than the people you work with more generally to get behind on their loans?
