Except it isn't a real job. It is an internship. They are there to learn, they aren't ready to do the job of a full staff member. If I was earning $15 I would not want an untrained student with no experience earning the same as me.
That's why so many are low/unpaid.

I've honestly never understood this attitude, that if someone doing "lesser work" is earning the same or more than me it's a personal affront. So long as I get what I contracted for then I'm happy.
