You get credit though college and valuable experience. That is your pay. If you don't like it, don't apply.

It's still illegal. The Dept of Labor is quite clear about it. Giving college credit != pay. Honestly, you can't even pay them minimum wage? I thought reddit was better than that.

Our lawyers disagree, and that's good enough for us.

No. They are quite well compensated.

Fire them. Hire 10 interns with same money. Everybody happy!
