Y'all, are internships in your area paid, unpaid or u need to pay to get one?

Our uni made internships mandatory! being from one of the country which produces largest number of engineers per year. Every godamn student from our uni is running around to get an internship! And there arises these dick heads with so called made up startups which has never done a godamn single project, just legally registered before the dawn and puts up advertisements for internship trainings!! All our uni needs is a fucking certificate from a technical company which is legally registered. And these assholes provide internship to those who pay them hella amount, and attend there couple of days just to get the certificate!! No developers! Just some random guy talking about html and css! Now thats Internship!

Fucking shit! Making money by looting students in their hard times! Students get the certificate that satisfies the uni, but for fucks sake at least bring an expert to guide them! No!! Need to stand up against this shit!

    @psukys because it's about getting the degree and not becoming good in what you're doing, sadly.

    All my internships were paid because I refused to do unpaid labor. In many cases they're not even legal. When I was in college I was too broke to be driving to work every day and getting nothing but good vibes out of it.

    I think HK PolyU does the same thing in terms of making internship compulsory from what I've heard

    US internships are cozy. Depending the area can range from minimum wage to 30+ an hour. Making people pay to work is rediculous.

    Every uni in my country requires students to do 1 month mandatory internship. It's up to company which you find if it's paid, but usually not since 1 month is too short to make it worth for them.
