In response to your question, it would be ideal if we could put pressure on these employers to ensure that they pay a fair wage for their interns. Unfortunately, in this system they're so pressured already to make as much profit as they can that it comes at the expense of us interns, so that we receive no wage and little to no benefits or services.
I feel like there needs to be legislation in place that makes sure that we're protected, or that the government provides subsidies for these employers so that we receive that fair wage.
