quote of the day: intern ecosystem

This DCist post today about D.C. summer interns is just so … bleak:

Someday soon they’ll escape from their khaki carapaces and emerge, glistening, into a world desperate for law school applicants and not-yet-embittered nonprofit sector employees. And let’s face it: they serve an unglamorous but vital function in the D.C. social ecosystem, as hipsters gobble up these bright-eyed kids’ self-respect like so many hungry, t-shirt-clad birds.
