Faced with a dismal market for college summer internships, a growing number of anxious parents are pitching in to help -- by buying their kids a foot in the door. WSJ | Discuss
the affluent have a stranglehold on opportunity anyway; why not secure the stranglehold with purchased internships?
it's an extra level of elite filtering- traditionally, poor urban and rural youth are weeded out by the cost of college tuition; now the middle class will now be weeded out at intern level. brilliant!
come to think of it, that's not a new situation . . . it's just made really clear in this article.
