Yeah my parents kicked me into work at 14 up to 18 just for the sake of understanding what it is and it was invaluable in my first interview for a big boy job: the fact I started at 14 to earn some money and was proud of it and could even give recommendations to deal with clients (worked in an auction store carrying furniture for people every weekend of my teenage years despite having rich parents) seriously impressed the boss and all his worries about me not coming from a top uni whatever were compensated by my understanding of his own suffering.
As a junior, the best best way to pass an interview is understanding you're a cost and accepting experience is part of the pay. Any sign of you expecting to be "paid your due" or "resisting undue exploitation" is an immediate ulcer inducing stress for the hiring person "omg he knows nothing, will take months to start producing above his cost, and he's already talking like a diva". Leave after 6 months if you must, telling the boss you cant possibly survive
