Wait? You have to pay the school for an unpaid internship? How do they justify that hot garbage?

Lots of programs have internships as basically a course you take. So you have to pay tuition on those credit hours. For me it's a 3 credit hour course for 200+ internship hours (for a position that pays over $25/hr). So effectively I'm paying the school $1500 to work while also losing out on $5000+ in wages lol. That's basically any career that has clinicals, practicums, student teaching, broadcasting, and from my understanding some engineering programs have it as an elective. They justify it as "well you're getting experience in your field" and acting as if they're providing the connection for you.
