unpaid internships should be illegal, it’s just slavery with extra steps

No, it’s class discrimination against the “wrong kind” who cannot sustain themselves without an income. An unpaid internship is a test of the family’s means to ensure that these positions are not available to applicants from poorer backgrounds.

And they should be illegal.
