What (or who) destroy jobs

We have had unpaid interns working for us in the past, and they are WAY more trouble than they are worth. We stopped offering them.

The kids know nothing and by the time you explained what you wanted them to do, you could have done it yourself. By the time they actually learn anything and can start to pay your training investment back, the internship is over. Plus they have this attitude that since it's an unpaid internship, they shouldn't have to do only tedious work. There should be fun work mixed in too. But it's a freaking law firm. It's all tedious work.
