Re: Re: RKD Architects hiring now (€50 / week)

I’ve noticed more and more of these work placement things, kind of abuse of the situation! Surely if they have work they have an income and can afford to pay staff a wage, like they did “when things were good”.

At least at 50 a week your getting a few quid extra, still disgraceful tbh.

A student just out of college is, in reality, of little or no use in the current climate to a company like that. What they need is experienced staff who are currently “at leisure” but, as above, 50 bucks ain’t gonna do it. €50 is a decoy.
What happens, therefore, is that a company such as RKD, through FAS, agree to pay an experienced person €x00 a week.

I disagree with that statement. Could you elaborate on why a recent graduate would be of no use in the current climate, as a Technologist who has worked for a big office during and after college I never felt like I was of little or no use.
