A Shitternship is an internship which teaches you absolutely nothing, gets you nowhere by the
time you've finished it and
one where your spending your own money without getting
paid.
Heres an example with fictional characters.
Bobby:I'm sick of this internship
shit!
linda: Why whats wrong?
Bobby: All I've been doing is buying
coffee for them with my own money, buying doughnuts for them with my own money and picking up their dry cleaning with my own money!. They haven't even paid me once!
Linda: ........Thats not an internship, thats a shitternship.
Bobby:.......I'm going to
go kill myself.....
linda: If you do can I have your
PS4?
Bobby: I hate you......
