    "a jobless person maybe? "

    If I just finished school and I am 50 grand in the hole and broke, how am I supposed to move to NYC and work for free? Normal people have to work to pay rent/food/etc. Not everyone has a rich daddy to pay the bills while they "gain valuable work experience".
    I have no problem with companies that issue a small stipend or pay shitty. At least they are paying something.
    When I was finishng college my friends and I were amazed that there were huge comapnies that expected us to move to Boston or NYC or SF and work for FREE for 9 months, full time. WTF????? I ended up working construction jobs for 2 years while I grovelled for freelance work, which is pretty common for us non-trust-fund proletariats.
