Thank you for the comprehensive overview. Clearly the intern has a more serious and responsible role. No question that having wealth is advantageous when competing for jobs or anything else. Providing salary to interns would encourage less affluent applicants, but it would also make the positions more attractive to everyone, increasing competition. The article gives the impression that it is wrong to not pay interns. Perhaps this is largely a perception of hypocrisy among candidates who talk a lot about how others should pay workers.
