I agree...why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

All this talk about interning and volunteering...so, I'd like to know who's
paying their rents? I just don't understand how anyone can financially
survive volunteering or interning exclusively in the "hopes" for a paid
position somewhere down the line? Its ridiculous!

By the way, those who are having their rents paid somehow..please send me
names and numbers of your supporters...I bunch of us can use their
assistance, too!
