Guys I believe the internship period of about 4 months is a period where a student learns the ways of the real world away from the classroom. As a student you paid your university to study and practice the basics, now you want to learn real life application of your studies in a company that will risk you make novice mistakes on their watch and want to get paid for it?
The allowances paid by companies to interns is a small token to enable them get by and its not a salary or any form of compensation. Globally from Wall Street to Nairobi interns work for free just to get a shot ay a real a life classroom. The fact that some organisations exploit interns for cheap labour is merely a side effect of the high demand for available positions.
A real intern wants to learn and in some cases get graded for it by their college. The allowance should not be an issue.
My 2 cents.

By giving you an opportunity to work for them and gaining experience which mostemployers look for and will pay good cash for it.This is how I would look at it, if you start a business you mostly pump in cash for a while attimes years before getting serious returns. Same applies to interns, its an investment andit will pay off in due time.On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 10:04 PM, <dhikims@gmail.com> wrote:Employers should on the least pay a morally fair pay. I agree 10k, is just not the pay for today even if its internship.
My half cent opinion.
