<p>I was not aware of this. I am very thankful that our D was employed as an intern for the past two summers and received generous compensation for the work she performed. She proved that she had the ability to be a productive member of a team. A male friend of hers was not so fortunate. Although he had a paid internship, he essentially sat around the entire summer and was not given anything useful to work on. What a waste because he is a very bright young man.</p>
<p>I believe that it many, if not most circumstances, unpaid interns are being exploited.</p>
