> It seems absurd to me to pay an intern that much to deliver negative value to a team, don't you think? I do agree, 100%. I think many interns add value and should be paid accordingly.

And I think there's a lot area between those two cases. > This depends. Honestly, that's all I was trying to say originally; that it depends on the situation.
