My wife Amy is a labor historian and she was incensed by an article in the New York Times that wrote about college graduates working for major corporations for free as interns. She write this blog<http://milestone-films.myshopify.com/blogs/news/6039314-pay-up>that next day. It's surprising how many of our friends read the article and starting paying their interns. I was (and remain) very proud of her.
