What interns do vs. what interns want to do
The parody newspaper, The Onion, is always good for a laugh and a new view. This little fake newsbite (''Every Intern At Nonprofit Trying To Solve Refugee Crisis First'') pokes fun at the struggle to work with nonprofit interns, and juggle their big ideas against the drudgery to be done:
"I don't mind them attempting to levy sanctions against the Burmese junta or coordinate humanitarian airlifts to the oppressed Karen people on their own time, but we really need them to keep the copier full of paper and ensure we have enough pens," said the organization's director, Greg Davidson.
I'd comment, but I have to go find some pens.
