[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bad thing about these unpaid gigs that offer lots of "experience" are only feasible for those that have outside support, i.e., wealthy kids. This means that these valuable experiences are not accessible to poor kids. So in addition to this being inherently unfair (some people might not care) but it means that 1) the field is going to be made up of only one type of person and 2) the organizations are likely missing out on lots of talented people. If I were running an operation I would pay. It would ensure I really got the creme de la creme instead of only the people who could afford to work for me. I imagine it pays in the long run to do this.

Plus in this day and age it's just not right to give someone a position and not pay for it. This is different than volunteering where you can come and go as you please based on free time. [/quote]

I thought the same about Peace Corps when I served. And this was before the whole student loan debt crisis.
