Years ago Jim Cramer (yeah, that one) was looking for an intern. I responded... queried him about investing and his track record... he responded that I should "take a pill". LOL!
He found an intern, his now wife. Her stock picks made him a rich man. True story.? Certainly it is more than a gist of truth.
What do you do as an "intern"? Run errands, make coffee? I dunno. In any regard, I likely was not subservient and a good intern for anybody.
