The program I am in, for example, requires >either a thesis or an internship of at least 6 months. Six months >is a long time to go without money. In this case, you're right--it is unconscionable to expect someone to work full time full time for six months for free. The interns that I have had worked 8-10 hours per week-no more time than they would have put in for a class. On the other hand, I'm sure I've seen ads in AVISO for paid internships that seemed pretty close to real wages.
