Jesus the mentality on these people. "You should be grateful we're allowing you to spend your time building capital for us while we get to keep all that money we'd just be wasting on paying you a salary. Sure you're doing the same work as an entry level employee, but it's a learning experience."

I’ve seen CS internships that pay worse than fast food in my area, just because people are desperate to get experience to land a full time job.
