Eric Glatt, a Georgetown law student, poses for a photograph on their campus, Wednesday, June 12, 2013, in Washington. Unpaid internships have long been a path of opportunity for students and recent grads looking to get a foot in the door in the entertainment, publishing and other prominent industries, even if it takes a generous subsidy from Mom and Dad. But those days of working for free could be numbered after a federal judge in New York ruled this week that Fox Searchlight Pictures violated minimum wage and overtime laws by not paying interns who worked on production of the 2010 movie "Black Swan." Glatt was one of the interns. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
