I'm all about interns on the implementation front. We've had 3 successful internships since starting our firm. My push back on interns is when key business stake holders want to AVOID social media because they don't understand it and simply push it off to an intern. Thanks for the parallel into IT as it is very applicable. I fully agree with their aptitudes for “getting it” and their work ethic. I’m all about interns on the implementation front.

This community had every version of Windows and other odd systems imaginable. I hired college kids at $10.00 per hour because if they didn't know how to fix something, they knew someone who did. I suspect that the social media marketing would work the same way. They are highly social and highly experienced using this technology!
