The problem is that these companies are not bringing in scrappy 17-year-olds with a hoop dreams, they're bringing college-educated professionals, and then refusing to actually pay them in exchange for producing valuable work. This is creating yet another barrier to professional entry for people who weren't born rich. In addition to the (skyrocketing) expense of college, they now have to endure an indefinite amount of indentured servitude in exchange for possibly eventually getting paid? Do we now expect new grads to work a two jobs once they graduate? One for what they went to college for, and a second job pumping gas or waiting tables to support them while they are working their primary job? And that sounds good to you?

- amputect 13y agoYou were by your own admission 17, which implies (since you were a minor) that you were living with relatives and debt free. Can you think of any important differences between a 17-year-old with a support net (even a shitty one) working for free, and a college educated adult with debt?
