    I keep hearing these comments on apprentices working for no
    pay...and in the same breath...they are not good apprentices because
    they eventually quit and get a real job! 

    I would not work for anyone for free!  A low starting salary for no
    or little experience is reasonable (happens in every industry) but
    everyone's work should be compensated. 

    After 3-6 months if you haven't been able to get value from an
    employee and give them a raise then an assessment should be made.  Is
    there a lack of skill and talent on the employee's part or does the
    fault lie with the mentor? 

    Nobody eats for free anywhere... 

Mark
