“Bills? Who cares, you have to live like a slave.”
Don’t be silly. No-one is expecting you to live like a slave in order to do an unpaid internship — that would hardly be conducive to outputting good work anyway.
No, no — obviously you’re meant to rely on your family’s wealth.
Oh, you don’t have family wealth to rely on? Okay, well the simple solution is to just not do the unpaid internship if you can’t afford it. And if that means you aren’t able to secure a paid position, due to lack of experience, then that just shows that the system works! After all, we have to keep the riff-raff out somehow
