Why are you trolling this guy? It's an internship. Many internships come with no compensation whatsoever. You don't need an internship position? Awesome! Neither do I. But stop acting like it's weird to offer them.
Unless you're seriously suggesting that someone should take out a few thousand dollars worth loans in order to go move hundreds or thousands of miles across the country in order to work without knowing if they'll be able to pay that money back anytime soon? Which is more of a troll then anything I've said IMO. Not that I can see how anything I've personally said in this thread is a troll at all, but we all have different perspectives on things and definitions of trolling, so I suppose that's subjective.
From when I was looking at internships for this upcoming summer, there's not that many Engineering/CS internships that are unpaid. An overwhelming majority of the unpaid internships are Marketing/PR/PolSci internships. The Engineering/CS companies tend to realize that its a good idea to pay people for doing work.
