re students paid for FWT jobs?
Remuneration varies with each FWT position. Some are volunteer, some pay, and some offer housing in lieu of salary. Short-term positions that provide the benefit of professional development are a valuable commodity. Many employers have no shortage of students willing to volunteer in exchange for this opportunity. This is the case especially in major metropolitan areas and competitive industries such as film and television, health care and research, social services, and publishing. Many nonprofit arts or service organizations are unable to afford to fund short-term employees, but welcome volunteers.
