    Because it's only a work placement.. the employer doesnt have to pay you.

    you do the work placement during the summer and they pay you most of the time minimum wage but they dont have to.

    Better minimum wage than no wage.

    Those were my thoughts exactly.

    I was so close to dropping out.. but It would have been such a waste of two years in college.

    I'm near the end of my placement now.. and although there was no payment exchanged.. so many people were in the same situation... and tbh.. it has flown by.
