and taking a job for free.. only bolsters the employers position that they will never need to pay for that position.why even budget for that position?
yrs ago there were jobs in algonquin park whereby, they hired folks to cruise around the canoe routes and campsites to advise campers on how to best enjoy the park while not putting themselves in harms way or damage the park.
then... somewhere along the line, folks volunteered for these positions.. free food.. time spent outdoors.. interacting on your own schedule.
the jobs are now unpaid
(its been many yrs since I have had interaction with these 'volunteers', but I,m sure the program is still ongoing)
why pay for something that you can get for free.
