Getting paid for my work.

Just because I'm a student, people assume I'll do everything for free and "exposure", while they make money off of my code

Won't change if you graduate (still being a freshman and work for references)

Sigh.

Never do anything for free. That time is better spent on some side project on your GitHub.

It doesn't get much better kid, even when you are a professional you still are expected to do more than your are valued.

@Pizza 100%. If someone tells me that I am not getting paid I will politely show them the bird and leave.

But can they handle the business side?

@drGreat5 you stick to your guns. Ain't nobody want you to work for free unless it for them.

"Oh yeah, you're working for free, but you are learning a lot at the same time, and you are gaining experience to put on your resume". Fuck you. People say it as if companies were doing you a favor by 'letting' you do their work for free.
