        most internships I've come across (US-based) are like this or worse.

        So in other words "You'll be our free slave for a month and then maybe we'll hire you..... Maybe."

        For a month? Most of them are like 4-6 months. I don't know how people are expected to live like that...but many do.

        It seems to act as a restricting agent for who gets into 'cool tech' - only the financially privileged can afford that.

        Silly because the next IT-guru could just as easily be from low income. Companies potentially lose the best talent

        Absolutely but it's like the "cultural fit" argument all over again. People want to hire people just like them. It's awful.

        "Good Guy arrogant old companies. Giving new talent so bad internships they force them to make better companies"? ;)

        I think it's unfortunately a little more complicated than that. :(

        @mpesce jeez. Internship or slavery? I’m glad Australia has laws requiring interns get paid in most circumstances.

        I wish I had known this earlier. I would also add that minimum wage internships ($7.25/HR ) isn't worth it either.
