Hey Hexbear. Recently I finished a specialized course related to the entertainment industry and our student group was contacted by the directors (also ex-students) of the freshly-founded studio they have been investing in. The course that I took was very expensive, costing around 10k total. It lasted for just a year, but the level of quality we have managed to arrive at with our work is, I would argue, decently high (for students, at least).

The company contacted us to hire the best of the class (about 8-9 people) and offered us an 'internship'... starting at less than 350 bucks a month. I live in a country where this is completely legal, mind you, but rest assured that such a wage is still considered insanely low. Oh, and those 350 bucks are BEFORE TAXES.

For now we are considering, as a class, to collectively refuse this offer and hope for something better. They have repeatedly said they need more people inside the studio. I guess this is just a way for me to vent about the sheer greed that I have come face-to-face with. This isn't a small studio, mind you, this is a decently sized, professional entertainment house. They repeatedly told me they have access to incredibly expensive technology in there, which just makes the fact that they are unwilling to invest in their employees even more disgusting.
