Jonas: How’s your new job?
Crystal: It’s not a job Exactly. It’s an Internship.
Jonas: Oh, so you’re working as somebody’s Lackey and getting paid a Pittance.
Crystal: No, not exactly. I’m doing a lot of Scut work and I’m not getting paid a lot, but I’m getting very valuable On-the-job experience.
Jonas: Sure you are. You’re learning how To fetch coffee and Run errands. Yippee! You don’t have to tell me any more. I know all about it. It’s Slave labor.
Crystal: No, it’s not! I’m Shadowing one of the managers part of the day and I Sit in on Important meetings all the time. My Mentor shows me how things are done in the business world and gives me great career advice.
Jonas: Well, then you’re lucky. Most interns who work for our company learn Diddly squat and spend their time doing Menial work. Some of them are even Unpaid. What a Racket!
Crystal: In that case, I’m glad I don’t work for Your company!
