> When you hire an intern, you pay them almost-entry-level rates because they are doing almost-entry-level work. That's the way it works in tech, but that's probably because there's plenty of money sloshing around, and plenty of job openings. Jobs in publishing get paid pretty well, but there's more competition for jobs and less money around, so their internships are often completely unpaid. It's surprising for someone coming from an industry where an internship is a money-losing chance to learn and network (like going to school), to see that tech internships are for making money.
