The waiter situation is not very comparable because the payoff is instant. You collect enough each night to pay the fees. Thus the situation is more akin to renting a booth to sell your wares. You pay rental for access to a crowd that is buying things (food and wait services). Furthermore, the risk is low. If payback is not as much as you expected after the first night, you can move on with only one nights rent lost.
With the internships, there is certainly not an instant pay off. You pay and receive nothing during which you work to benefit the first. No one is paying you for months on end. There are no nightly tips.
- ShabbyDoo 16y agoI agree that the waiter's risk is much lower. It was only the evidence that it is sometimes rational to pay for the right to work which I sought from the example.
