We're cranking out the NBA Preseason Outlook for the Milwaukee Bucks at one desk, wrapping up Monday's NHL contests at another. Two editors are debating who is the better quarterback -- Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. An email comes in. It’s a subscriber asking whether he should start Dwayne Bowe of the Chiefs or Marques Colston of the Saints in his fantasy football league this week. It's a typical day at RotoSports Inc. If this is the type of work environment that interests you, we strongly encourage you to consider interning at RotoWire. Students will improve their writing and communication skills and they will acquire first-hand knowledge of the workings of a small business. Moreover, we will help students develop their resumes, help them with references and letters of recommendation and help put them in touch with our contacts in the industry. Initially, there is no financial compensation, though some of our interns have ended up on the payroll down the road as their duties expanded.
