So my school is super greedy and want me to pay $4000 throughout the length of my 16 month internship in order to be in their official internship program.

They want me to register every semester, and thus pay $4000 for what is essentially one course. I think that’s fucking stupid and would like to get out of it.

The problem is they know the contacts of some people in my company (I gave it to them before knowing this stupid rule) and they contacted my workplace.

When I protested they said it’s mandatory and that the employers get a tax credit from us being in the internship course.

My question is: can anyone confirm this? Have you guys been in a similar place? What do you recommend I do? I don’t want to get in trouble with my workplace or school but it just feels so fucking unfair ESPECIALLY because we don’t qualify for OSAP or any kind of bursaries.

so my friend and i went to mall today and on the way back i needed to fill gas. anyways i pre paid inside and got back in my car only to be stopped by some guy on the road telling me that my gas lid was open… and then it occurred to me that I NEVER FILLED THE TANK lmao. i paid and just drove off 😭. so then when i went back i was so flustered for potentially making my friend late that i parked beside the wrong station TWICE cuz my tank is on the drivers side and the hose wouldn’t reach. i wanted to jus pay on the screen bcs i was too embarrassed to go back inside but it wouldn’t accept my card. so then my friend is trying to help me when this guy walks out telling us that the employee inside was laughing at us 😂.

so yeah thats my day now im home and feeling kinda dumb but oh well.
