I was an intern in 1980, high school, in a realtor office. I lasted a month, and bailed. The harassment was awful. I ended up in a pear packing job, not much better.

No matter where you ty to intern, you get this harassment. Difference here, our tax money is paying these jerks! Don't get me started on the insider trading perks we're paying for, on top of the other shit going on.
