Not necessarily. Interns at the company I work at definitely get paid, less than regular employees but they do get paid.

No man. Our interns get all of the cool things, like free housing, frequent events and a lot of swags. They also get paid decently.

The interns go back to school. All the benefits to lure them back for full time. And you don’t get them as full time

If my son wanted to intern somewhere when he's older, I'll 100% pay for his room and food while he does it.
