Internships should be paid for (recruit them at entry level). Recruit based on potential and develop that person. It worked very well in our time and we are still going strong in the profession. During my early years I was employed based on my potential, attached to an experienced professional to learn and grow. Promoted as I developed.

There should be no internships, or 2. All internships should be paid 3. Do not offer full-time positions to interns who "proof" themselves I do not understand how you view internship as being taken advantage of.
