[edit] Medical intern
The dictionary definition of the word relates to the medical profession. That's the first definition of the word that I learned and that needs to be mentioned. -Amit (67.22.216.150)
I made a separate page about interns in medicine, so I simplified the information here. Some of it was not completely accurate. --DocJohnny 13:21, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

- I think this page could still state more clearly that a medical internship is something wholly different. Feeeshboy 20:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why?
Could someone explain why companies offer paid internships? What do they benefit from the relationship? Is there some sort of tax relief or donation/grant eligibility they gain? Surely throwing even minimum wage into a pit that does not benefit the company is not of itself worthwhile. 149.159.92.175 07:25, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

- Internships do benefit the company. They're getting labor for cheap and often free. Additionally, if you're good at your job and they like how you work they can hire you.Cereal box conspiracy 17:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page organization
What's wrong with this page, is it maintained by interns? --Wingzerotype 17:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] USA-centric
Too much concentration on Intern issues only relevant to USA residents Roidroid 05:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] For-profit volunteering
"However, there is no such thing as a "volunteer" who works for a for-profit corporation." What is your source for this information?
[edit] "See Also" section
Why does the see also section direct the reader towards slavery? Is there something implied here? The link to indentured servant also seems rather suggestive and subjective. Perhaps this section could be revised (or at least explained). 06:10, 18 December 2006 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.150.253.69 (talk • contribs).
- It's a joke, bordering on vandalism. I've removed the first wikilink before, and I just did again, and removed the second as well. I'd appreciate other editors looking out for further (re)postings of this; please delete on sight. John Broughton | Talk 20:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
