Today, I found out that my company is paying more for hors d'oeuvres at one party than I will receive for my entire year long internship. FML

You're just an intern. Be glad they invited you. I'd be stoked to go to a party with free expensive shit.

Interns are often lucky even to be allowed to work for free. OP is most likely young enough that it'll pay off later.

It's an internship. You're not supposed to be paid at all. In fact, most internships are unpaid.

That's what happens when you dress like a prostitute to an internship interview. **** -_-

Actually It depends on the field. Most computer science internships where I live pay around $10 an hour.

I dunno what internships you've had, but the internship I've had for 6 months was paid with about $20/h...

Hors d'oeuvre is a stupid way of saying "snacks". People just took the French word (not saying French is stupid, I'm just saying that it's ridiculous for English to steal a complicated word like that without translating it to 'hordurve' first) and decided to use it to sound fancier.

What's with all these internship stories? Is there a convention going on or something?

Actually, yes, yes there was: the one with the girl wearing an inappropriate outfit for her interview, to become a law intern.

You're a ******* intern. Be thankful you're even getting paid.

Internships are important. They help busineses with petty work that needs to be completed so that employees can get the "real" work done to keep a company in business.

Internships are slave labour. If a company has 'petty' work that needs doing, they should hire someone to do it properly. These are actual people with actual lives. Paying people to do work is a fundamental cost of business.

When you took a job as an intern, you should have known you'd be treated like shit. You have no right to complain. For those who don't believe me, go on Urban Dictionary, type in intern, and look at the very first definition.

you know urban dictionary is just a bunch of peoples definitions and posts... I could say an intern was a fat old person with bad hygiene...

#67 is completely right. no one believes pretty much anything posted on there because of the fact ANYONE can give any word any definition they want/ feel like. Google is more reliable than urban dictionary and who knows what'll pop up on there sometimes
