You're speaking in optimistic hypotheticals with no basis in reality. It's only "doable" if the intern can secure an income outside of the internship, which would most likely be loans or a second job. The "average person" doesn't have extra money to cushion years of unpaid labor

I’ve got a company with millions in the bank. That’s the great thing about Silicon Valley, you can just make it happen.

What % of your staff has <1 year of college?
-
No it’s less than that, but I would trade college for years of experience for every one of them
-
So what’s the actual %? And how many of those come from families that come from the left half of the income distribution?
-
25% and 40% would be my guess

Guess?
