I can not stress this enough: NEVER work for free. Don't do unpaid internships. Also try to avoid selling yourself under value (hint: you are probably worth at least twice you could imagine). Ever had someone accept your demanded rate without negotiating? You know you must ask for more next time.

Besides owing it to yourself, working for less than your right wage will harm your industry.

im just kidding, but if they are working for 0 and you said they are worth twice as much as they imagine (0), aren't they still worth 0? :P

reminds me of al bundy, no phone calls today, but tomorrow twice as many!
