Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] re. interns


Interesting.  Since my company has been in a position to pay stipends  
to Interns, I have not noticed any change on my relationship with my  
interns, except that I know they have gas money to get in.

They are still treated as students and I still am the teacher.  If  
anything I have found that they are more grateful and willing to  
contribute to the company.

I have interns who were not paid because we were making money and  
those paid as we have been doing better.  Both are good friends.
