Choose Your School

Go to an in-state public school or a public school in a surrounding state that has reciprocity for reduced tuition, which will be much lower than rates at a non-reciprocal out-of-state public school or a private school.

Have you ever interviewed for a position that you weren’t sure what the job entailed? Have you ever asked the question, “What do you see as a typical day in this position” during the interview? If so, did you get an answer that you wanted to hear? I asked that question a…

Adult internships: Are they legal?

After writing about adult internships as a way to explore career change or freshen up your skills, I heard from several people asking why I didn’t cover the legal issues around these arrangements. The main reason is that these issues are mostly of concern to employers, not to the people seeking internships. But since the question has been asked a few times -- and since it lets me flex some muscles I haven’t used for a while -- I decided it was worth answering.

Regardless of which side of the deal you’re on, it is is a good idea for everyone to be aware of potential legal concerns.

During the off season, New York Ranger Sean Avery made an interesting career move—he’s interning at Vogue magazine. "I wanted to immerse myself in fashion,” Avery told fashion trade mag Women’s Wear Daily. “I couldn't think of a better place to do it than Vogue."

If you're a professional hockey player (and you ask nicely) you can become an intern at Vogue

nospam@example.com ()

I know nothing about hockey, but I do know something about getting a Condé Nast internship—and I know it's hard, like self-esteem breaking hard. But that's not so apparently if you're New York Rangers player Sean Avery. (I'd heard this weird NHL/Vogue rumor a few weeks ago but couldn't really process it. Why does Sean Avery want to work at Vogue? Why does Vogue want Sean Avery? What will the 28 year-old do there? It boggles the mind.) Anyway, now the rumor has been confirmed by...
