    it's up to the graduate to make the decision, personally I asked to be paid when I did my work experience and was lucky enough to get it.. I don't know about everywhere but in Canada you can get government subsidies for things like this, so the employers pays half and the government kicks in the other..

    that said, if I was coming out of school and was able to get a placement at a top studio and could feasibly live without the pay, I'd still do it...

    A lot of these top studios pay their actual employees peanuts because their client base is rooted in cultural work that is generally low paying, there's no chance in hell you'll change their ways, and nor should you, unless you start lobbying for the clients to start paying more...
