Unpaid Intern - Svalbard

If nobody pays for it, no one gets paid for it

And who can afford to go unpaid but the rich?

An unpaid internship is not an opportunity, it’s a risk

A risk for those without a bedroom in a family home

Where they can stay rent-free

Whilst you bleed them to the bone

I’m sorry this job is only available to those

Who can afford to go a month without income

Can’t you see?

Can’t you see?

When you open the gates to your massive company do you want a CV?

Or would the deeds to a trust fund prove more necessary?

You may only have this work experience if you can afford to work for free

Can’t you see?

Can’t you see?

How this prevents the poor from opportunities?

Your reputation is not currency!

Do you know how it feels when the door is shut?

When there’s no feasible way at all of moving up?

When every job requires experience and that always is given to someone well off

Without a dime, how cruel it is to have dreams

When they’ve sewn up every possibility
