Lol. This is funny. To break into Wall Street, you almost have to have an unpaid internship. If you do well, they offer you a job there. If you don't, they don't. People just WANT to hate Sandberg. An internship is a chance to learn; you aren't entitled to learn at a company. Paid interns are the exception; they are odd. You're used too Google too quickly and clearly don't understand how most industries operate. If you think apprenticing would be more beneficial, call it that. Interning is an opportunity to learn, not to pay rent.
That tells us less about what is normal practice by most businesses and more about how screwed our financial system has become. If I am running an organisation, I want the best people, not just the best people from the group who's parents are wealthy enough to let them not need to work in the first place.

Uh, no? To break into Wall Street you go to Yale and then your dad's friends hire you.
