Are unpaid intership common in USA goverment positions?
I was reading this which says: This unpaid internship is open to all law students. Unpaid internships are not well seen here in Italy for the private sector and would be deemed totally unacceptable for government positions. Is it common in the United States to work for the government as an unpaid intern? How does the inter pay rent, bills, food, etc.?
