And stop saying "unpaid work" like unpaid internships are the only form of unpaid work. The terms are not synonymous.

let me make this even clearer, a school that requires unpaid internship is requiring something they have no legal right to require, certainly not if it means that if you choose not to intern you forfeit graduation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

If a university REQUIRES an internship for graduation, and there isn't one to be had that is PAID, and the school tells you that you can not GRADUATE without internship credit (thereby forcing you to intern) that would be involuntary servitude.

If you pay to take a class, that is one thing. You are not serving anyone. You are being served. And internship, you are serving. You must volunteer to do that.

Unpaid internships are criminal (for a university requiring them for graduation) if you don't volunteer to do them. You have a case. You can sue, and you might even win. Best thing the school should do is never require them.

No one. They are forcing you to serve involuntarily if you want to graduate.

I have no problem with the internship being optional. If you haven't any self-respect and you feel you need to schlep some old fuck his coffee at whatever bullshit journalism outfit you are slaving away at, be my guest. I wouldn't do it. But I have self-esteem.

My problem is the graduation requirement associated with the schleping of the coffee.

Now the kids take some responsibility here. They should be able to read the core requirements for the BA/BS at age 17 while still in high school. Even still, the internship credit mandate is still in violation of law. Its kind of like minimum wage: even if you agree to work for less than minimum, it doesn't mean your employer is off the hook if you want to sue. They broke the law and you must be made whole. We have these laws on the books to protect the irresponsible for their lack of self-respect and their own incompetence.

Not surprisingly you've now gone full circle:

Unpaid internships are illegal.
Why?
Because they are slavery.
But no one is forced into that situation against their will.
Well they break the law.

About the only thing you may have a point on. If the internship does not produce value to the intern, then this may be a problem (as everyone here has acknowledged). Problem is that the vast majority of internships DO bestow a benefit on the intern.

ii) why does nospace hate the unpaid internship so much? he is so passionate about it... but why? is there some story from his lifetime he is withholding?
c) trying to follow nospace's arguments give me a headache.. maybe it is the consequence of being stuck in a logic box.
