Abstract
Increasingly, the internship is not a stage in the educational process, but the first step young people set on the labour market. In this article, the internship is considered as an example of precarisation of labour. The lived experiences of internships by highly educated graduated interns are studied, using semi structured interviews. This data show how the internship is an important form of taking care of the self: a way to invest in the project the career is. This often even implies that labour is disconnected from being paid: money is seen by the interns as a perverse impetus for working. This ethopolitic makes the interns highly susceptible for exploitation.
