Well, I have no intention of stopping your complaining.

More generally, as far as "unpaid internships" are 
concerned, there was a time when I was younger when it 
definitely wasn't cool.  And now, universities promote it as 
a means of attracting prospective students.  And students 
are happy to do it because they think it helps their CV.

I certainly feel the age when I see this happening...
