Internship

I was recently invited via e-mail to join the Washington Internship Program. This program allows students to work with many big companies from the DC area for the low price of $3,400. For ONE summer!? So, let me get this straight. These companies are not only getting a summer's worth of free work out of students, but they're also charging them an amount comparable to an entire semester's tuition for this? What an "opportunity"... It's no wonder how the rich keep getting richer.
