Oh god, this is not a good sign. Prestigious, but previously free internships at Teen Vogue, Rolling Stone, and Vanity Fair are now be auctioned off at a Christie's celebration on Dec. 2nd.

The good news? You don't need to be a celebrity like Francis Bean Kobain or Sean Avery to intern at these previously exclusive mags anymore.

Bad news? Magazines are doing so bad right now that you have to pay to work at them for free. You'll really be missing that $4,000 you plunked down for the honor of getting Ms. Wintour her double caf skinny latte when you're too poor to pay off your college loans.

Oh, and in case you actually wanted to make money while working at a paper, would you consider moonlighting as a valet?

Staffers at the Longmont Times-Call recently received an internal e-mail inviting them to work as valets at a private Christmas party for the Lehman family, who own the paper. And at least two employees have already accepted the offer.

So the only way to make money in this industry anymore is by taking on service jobs as extracurricular? Fun! I thought people moved to LA and became valets so they could eventually become writers, not the other way around.
