before u say internships lead to a job… alot of companies say youre on a trial run of three to six months and then fire them and hire someone else as an unpaid intern on trial so they always have free labor
@ShubhamSinghYoutube
America: unpaid internships India: Paid internships, but you pay to get the internship :)
@SAnderson54
Young ppl know your worth. You don't need to be making 6 figures off the bat, but don't ever work for free!!!
@DarknessFalls29
They just need to call it volunteer work.
@mattwong5403
If an internship requires a degree and 3 years of experience, it's not an internship, it's an actual job where employers want experienced people to get paid below minimum wage

Answer to the title: because corporations take advantage of people with little to no work experience to gain free labor.
@KS-cl8br
No mid sized or larger companies should be allowed to do unpaid internships.

My first 'official job' was an unpaid internship. It was rough, knowing I was working for free with no promise of a job at the end of tunnel. I took on a side retail job just to pay for the transport, lunch and other associated costs to complete the internship. I'm grateful for the opportunity and I learnt a lot and it also helped me get my foot in the door. But yes, this needs to change, people should be paid for the work they do and this culture or expectation of people doing internships in order to land a entry level job needs to change.

When I post a job for a business type role, I will see 150+ applications. My friend the carpenter puts out an ad, and if he is lucky to get 1-2 people. We need to change the stigma of blue collar work, it's good money and not all trades will leave you crippled and broken by the time you're 50.
@shivinunitholi2493
This very culture of unpaid internships is widespread. I did a 6 month internship in one of the leading hotel chains in India and I was not paid for the same. Would work up to 12-14 hours in a stretch, would be ill treated by the employees but had to do it. For the guests the Hotel was "an awesome experience" but for interns like me it was awful and abusive.
@mosanso
Unpaid internship is nothing more than free exploitable labour. Your time is the most valuable thing you have do not give it away for free.
@AlyssaTaylor9
I've been through the internship search (I've had 2). I find it funny when internships describe themselves as "paid" in job postings, and that pay is like a few hundred dollars a month for full time work. Thats not pay, thats a stipend.

The craziest thing is that you work for free but they treat you like they are paying a lot of money.
@TMM-N
Come on guys.. Paying a minimum wage for 2-3 people would not bankrupt a large company Paying $12/hr a full time staff with degree vs paying a full time staff $20/ hr is a huge saving
@HaDao205
I was making $23/hr at my internship, then I learned that the 2 French interns there are unpaid. They were surprised to learn that I am paid since we all are interns. They have to pay rent in an expensive COL city, while I'm living with my parents while commuting 1hr from outside the city. Not everyone can afford to accept an unpaid internship.
@DripGxd_Cam
I think unpaid internships should just be out right banned, I’m still doing the work a paid employee would be doing so i should be paid. If it was under any other circumstances that wasn’t an internship it would be Illegal.
@representing50plus
I’m in my 60s and that unpaid internship is relatively new. When I was in college. That nonsense didn’t exist. If you got a job you got paid. PERIOD. I don’t know who thought that just getting the experience was enough. It’s not, especially with all the student loans a lot of you have. I think it is a terrible practice.
@PaulHo
My college required 2 unpaid internships just to graduate, the scam!
@ReginaGrace2011
Unpaid internship is why I left the field of psychology and pursued a new career as a data scientist. Now I have no problem getting a job, is paid higher and have flexible hours.
