@MominYQureshi @carlylewis @plantainisbae Momin said one of the hardest things he learned is that while being an ambitious journalist, it's essential to set boundaries.

"I will say one of the hardest things to learn to do in your career is how to say no." #PayOrNoPay

Candido spoke about her internship becoming a job:

“The internship course actually got me my producing job at CTV Your Morning once my six weeks were complete. If it wasn’t for taking that course, I am not sure if I would have gotten into the industry as quickly.” #payornopay

“Not paying interns definitely undermines the work that they do. Interns are people with great ideas and fresh perspectives that add value to a company. The work they do should be recognized and rewarded!” - Julia Candido

[A Baum @ABaumga]

JRN student Sydney Di Brina brought up the question to the panel:

“Do you think that not paying interns undermines the work that they do for the organization?”

[Megan Ebreo @megan_ebreo]

A poll was conducted, “Would you take an unpaid internship if it was your dream job?”

As of now, the results are:
- 73 per cent “yes” with 8 votes

@xo_samreen asks, “If you were given your dream internship, would you take it, even if it was unpaid?”

[A Baum @ABaumga]

“I would love for all internships to be not only paid, but to provide a fair, living wage. It would take collective advocacy to make that happen.” - Carly Lewis
