“IF UNPAID INTERNSHIPS ARE ILLEGAL, HOW CAN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY EXIST?...”

Aggregated story at: http://www.thedailyswarm.com/headlines/if-unpaid-internships-are-illegal-how-many-billions-does-music-industry-owe-back-pay/

The Daily Swarm collects a few articles on the Labor Department cracking down on “unpaid labor.” New York Times, New York Magazine, and The Daily Princeton all have articles on this recent phenomenon.

Thinking broadly, they ask a valid question – “What would happen to the music industry if it had no inters.” Many think it would fall apart. But, for me, the real question this article asks is a more personal one – “Why am I buying a $20,000+ degree with ‘Music Business’ in the title?”
