This is a normal post Fair enough.
But it still seems wrong and exploitative to me to expect a grown adult (graduate or otherwise) to work for nothing.

"I put up with it, why shouldn't everybody else?" is not a valid argument.

This is a normal post But they aren't any use yet
What sort of useful computer work (for example) would I expect to get from an untrained 14 year old.

Essentially you're really giving them free training at the expense of one of your paid employees time.

Cash isn't the only for of renumeration; Skills and experience are worth something, thats what I'm trying to say.

For a year? You're joking. But for a few weeks/months it can make perfect sense.

This is a normal post Yeah I'm not talking about an untrained 14 year old though,
I'm talking about a 22 year old, with a degree. And bills to pay.

This is a normal post Learn PHP/HTML in about a week then
And get a job coding. You'll have no issues getting one with ease. Hell string theory and quantum mechanics are a lot more complex than that.

I've got 3 years experience in C++ now, thanks to nepotism.

This is a normal post One of the funniest moments I remember
was having a poo before my animal physiology exam, nervous as hell, when finished I reached for the paper and on the first sheet was written
"arts degree - please take one"

This is a normal post they are NOT working for nothing...
it's simply that for the period of their placement, they are not getting their 'benefits' for nothing. for some of them it could be quite an eye-opener, how the other half lives.

This is a normal post this is about unpaid internships in banks.
you don't get benefits while you are doing one of those.
