I read earlier today about Hilary Clinton’s former intern. Back in 2006 she (Ms. Sammie Spades) was a summer intern while attending community college. Plans were to become an attorney, and later go into public office. As it turns out, I guess you could say she did become a public servant, but of a much different kind – she’s serving up porn to the public (as the star!). It seems money troubles derailed her plans, and porn pays pretty good. Oh well….
So, on a more serious note, I was curious to hear from GovLoop members – any of you have a Government Internship? If so, what was your position and for whom? How is this role the same (or totally different) from what you do now? Finally, was your internship beneficial in providing you with knowledge and/or experience that you utilize in your public service roll currently?
By the way, the link I provided, don’t worry if you decide to click it – there’s nothing there to make you blush! It’s simply a link to the article. 🙂
So tough not to make a Bill Clinton joke here.
I hear you!
