- These students are our healthcare professionals in years to come. They take care of us when we're most in need, so it's time we start taking care of them. Yash is in her final semester of a Master of Psychology (Education and Developmental) and currently works as a provisional psychologist.
Growing up in a low-income household, Yash is passionate about highlighting and dismantling institutional inequities that exist within our society. She has further interests in behavioural science and improving financial literacy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Amazing talk Yash 🥰 Definitely going to share this with my cohort once I start my Master's of Clinical Psychology in a few weeks 🔥 End unpaid placement!
i thought algeria is the only country that do not pay interns . i graduated this year after doing more than 50 unpaid nightshifts and daily work in hospital all at my cost . yet in my dear country the unemployees are getting paid monthly .
That’s so ironic 😢
OMG! That explains why we have no dedicated staff. Nobody and never will ever work for free and do a quality work and service!!! Free work - means horrible horrible quality of mental health services etc.
In Egypt, you're required to be an intern for 1 year after you graduate. If you graduate from a college owned by the government, you get a very small monthly salary, and if you graduate from a private college you actually have to pay the government a monthly fee to be able to become an intern
yep this is really ridiculous :/
Thank you for this talk, I'm sorry to hear of the challenges you've faced.
Same problem in India
Are we facing this problem
I have to ask. Is it a realist stereotype that I think that India unfortunately is facing modernity in a wrong way and maybe traditions too in a wrong way? Because it seems that how India is going through now, every aspect of society it's mixed badly
Well said ... If we can pay our Apprentices to learn a trade, we can pay out Healthcare Workers! It would go a long way to addressing shortages in the field!
Internships are like forced labor.
Literally … I worked in a pharmacy but now with age I realise they just signed up to get unpaid labour.
I'm on your side you're right
The title get me clicked! I want to sleep but I had to watch first!
By the way, Nigeria is paying for healthcare interns!
It’s pathetic. That is 1:02 exactly what has happened to me in the past couple of years. I can’t even pay my bills. I have NEVER had this problem and I have worked 28 professional years and 10 for FREE. I am broken now and it’s the most frustrating experience I have ever had. We can’t afford to help….because we can’t even help ourselves. 🤦♀️
Thank you for sharing from your fan in Thailand.

If we can pay others for practical insights (apprentices or students in other fields), it should be possible to find a way to pay them in healthcare as well. Maybe we need to find a way how this could work. One way might be seeing this experience as the student job or something like that. Only because others managed the hard times shouln't be an argument to not looking for a better way. (In the same way that we are usually not saying that we need to stop complining and go back to not using technology because others had managed to in the past). If a person can't afford to pay the bills and eat, that person is limited in their career choice which leaves valuable insights out of professional fields and increases the lack of sufficiently qualified staff, putting more pressure on existing staff, which is even more damaging in an environment, where people are being taken care of.
This talk is about unpaid interns in psychology. What other fields have students work for free? I am a musician. I have my hobbies and my work. I am happy to make music with a few amateur ensembles that I have to pay for, but I get paid gigs and I do not "work" for free.
Sad truth and I'm a senior working on my bachelor's in psychology.... It doesn't feel worth the journey financially or mentally at this point... 😕
The same for Counselling Psychology doctoral students in the UK...all unpaid at present
I did 4 years in psychology and a year of Masters and now I've decided to leave this major because I am clinically depressed and have Generalized Anxiety and severe burnout. Absolutely relatable
I got $50/month for 1 year, with 14 leave days for the whole year. Including night shifts every other week
Amazing! 🙌👏
Here in India; same situation
Inspiring
hallelujah!
Great delivery and bravery. 👏🏼
Opportunity requires investment.
Nothing great in life is handed to us.
You will ultimately be in a place of "privilege" - and you will have earned it.
You knew the track you chose.
It's hard work, investment, not "free labor."
You are not proficient yet, you are learning. You typically don't get paid for that.
Try to be grateful for the opportunity to build what's likely to be a wonderful future.
Gratitude is a wonderful thing that will take you far in your life.
Well done.
🎉🎉🎉
Our college do not pay even Residents .
Lets say it this way, it began in late 1800s , and its almost 224 years is over, already end of 21st centurys second decade, Dear bosses grow up thinking that your employees are your slaves
Internships have been around for thousands of years. In almost every culture.
Hello
I don't know how this is legal. How can you do work and not be paid?
Unfortunately I found that money makes no difference. Healthcare today requires you to trade your wellbeing for someone else's. This is healthcare under capitalism. Even the socialist models.
Same in Taiwan. Physical therapy interns do not get paid here😢
Wait till you hear about the cost of education in the US.
PREACH!
unpaid interniship is fancy wording for legalized slavery
I agree but i am not woke at all. 🎉
i am mine guitar
👍✊
When she sexistically mentionned women, i knew the point of diminishint returns was reached and I stopped watching this video and commented instead. Why do they try to damage the TED brand so hard?
Support for the cause✋
may suu ? Country
Dietetic interns aren’t paid either!
Well, you're just an intern! Who knows, you may cause a harm more than good. So be patient and keep training
Internships are designed to take the place of Classes. You don’t get paid to go to class.
Well then just call it a class. But if you’re doing everything (or pretty much everything) that the job description requires, that is **work**
@@GretchenV95 u don’t know enough to do “everything”.. your there to learn for a couple months. That’s it.
Sir, if you doing benefit for a company that is not called class.
With company (office) is just as bad as this one.
The problem is we did intern *supposed* for our college's major; yet what we did, most of it, is nothing to do with our major. Create coffee, buy this and that, print/photocopy, all the things that the youngest and lowest seniority do. Because the worker themselves is busy and none is given task to "help" us adapt (maybe there is but are they being paid for it?), they just won't bother to ask us to do things "that what we should learn" because it will cost them time. So when we back to college and the professor ask what we learn in the intern, should we say we learn to create tea and coffee suits those worker taste?
Done ✔️
Amen
Everyone has to pay their dues and put in the work. You knew ahead of time what you were signing up for….YOU signed up for. You’ll be compensated once you put in the ground work that many before you have and succeeded. It’s just an excuse to use race, gender, economic conditions - if you can’t do or handle what the people before you have, then find something else that you can handle that isn’t this. I’m just hearing a lot of whining and pleads for free handouts. It’s hard work, so work hard if you want the payoff you sought out in the beginning of your choice for this path. Step up or step off.
1st comment
You must be kidding? Internships are part of the learning process. Stop whining.
Lol. God, I have better things to think about.
I just steal stuff from the workplace that's worth my time
