INTERN NATION: I have a lot of sympathy for students and recent college grads who complain that they shouldn’t have to work for free as interns to order to land a paying job. When I was fresh out of school that was rare. But I would have more sympathy for them if they understood how the over-regulation of the employment relationship is what leads employers to shy away from hiring an inexperienced employee before he or she has served a “try-out period.” “Intern nation” is the result of the fact that it is very hard to fire an employee who turns out to be an uncooperative jerk without risking a lawsuit. Instead of recognizing the problem, Millennials ask for more regulation.
