So I've been taking a decorating class through the community college. My instructor is the owner of a local cake business, and it happens that he is about to move to a larger kitchen and hire more staff.
I'm thinking about asking to do an internship with him. Have any of you hired interns, or been interns, and could tell me what to expect? Are they all unpaid, or is it reasonable to expect to be paid a little bit? Any advice would be great, Thanks!

Why ask for an internship if you could be a paid employee...? If your skills are what he's looking for then the job could be yours.
