I'm not saying that's fair, but she is getting paid at least.Erin earned $189 for 39 hours work!!!
A lot of colleges student in the US undertake internships with corporations, government departments and NGOs, and get no money at all. They do it for the work experience and the entry on the CV. They have to get a scholarship or bludge money off parents for six months - I guess it is like the old apprenticeship system from the middle ages!
Just a different way of doing things over there I guess.
