Conceived by real advertising students and championed by The National Association for Colleges and Employers, these films show an intern trying to pay for various goods and services with the spoils of her unpaid internship. Unfortunately, reference letters, swag and boardroom bagels don't pay for life's necessities. Unpaid is unacceptable. (And in case you were wondering, the students who worked on this campaign were paid.)
