what crazy holiday is it in Canada this week?

 

Either Beer Day or Flannel Day

 

How about all three in one day? that would be a fine day.

 

Saskatchewan Day here, BC Day in BC, etc.

first Monday in August is a stat holiday in 4 provinces, optional in the rest.

 

Well in that case, everyday is a holiday then isn't it?

 

The beach is better than sasquatchjan day, flannel and beer day combined would be a close second tho

 

preposterous, Saskatchewan Day is the pinnacle of holidays.

 

Doubtful... I need pics of the great happenings this day provides to make the final decision

 

You guys aren't very talkative today.. but I was wondering if you guys could help me. I'm looking for internships in NYC and I might have one but I'd like a few backup plans. So while looking I found an internship program. You pay a "tuition" type fee and in return they set you up with a place to live, meals, amd transportation to your internship and 100% guarantee of an internship in the destination of your choosing (from their list) in this case being NYC.

Anyone ever heard of this or work at a job that does this? Any opinions on it? Thanks.

 

Never heard of it, but good luck finding one you want

 

Thank you

 

Look up some info on the company. You having to pay them and not having the internship directly with them seems kinda like a scam to me.

Whats your major again? Does your advising office have any type of job board or anything posted in it?

 

I will have to go talk to them and its business management. The internships are not with the company they are with companies such as Merrill Lynch, Ameriprise, Northwestern Mutual, etc.

 

Tim's right... I'd do some research on the company you will be paying... See if you can find any feedback on them.

 

I started looking at it and its a little too much.. they want $8500 up front and its only a 12 week internship.

 

Hey Merde , what are you using to sharpen your chisels and planes ?

 

Given it's NYC, food, transportation, and housing isn't cheap. Still seems crazy for 3 months though.

What kind of stuff are you looking to do specifically? Might just try going on indeed and careerbuilder and searching for an internship in NYC that way.
