A job is only acceptable as a temporary position. You can take a job only under the condition that it is

1) not minimum wage and

2) you can transfer the skills to your future career or business. No exceptions to this rule.

People who are willing to work for free are *begging for help*.

In addition? The only person willing to hire free labor does not have the power to afford *quality* paid for labor.

How are you going to learn from someone who can’t even afford to pay you $15-20 an hour?

You’re a human being and deserve to cover your bills even if you are learning for the most part.

Besides. If he’s willing to pay you? He’s thinking of ways to leverage your skills long-term as he finds what type of intelligence you have.

To drive the point home. If you’re even thinking about taking an unpaid position, we’re going to assume you’re lazy.

Why? If you’re actually willing to work hard (60-80 hours a week when you’re young)... Then?

You would have put in the time to find a position you *would* be paid for!

Doesn’t get much simpler than that. The only person who is willing to work for free is simply a fool.

Perhaps there is an exception to this rule?

We haven’t seen it. Maybe if you get to work with Warren Buffet you can go ahead and work for free.

But. Working for any large company for free (or even worse a small one) is simply a bad move. Your time is worth at least $15 an hour.
