Unpaid Internships

I am an architect.

I have an undergraduate degree and a graduate degree in my field. They are not degrees from any-old-university (they are, in fact, from oh-my-gawd-you-went-where-why-aren't-you-on-the-supreme-court universities [which can be very, very, depressing, by the way]).

My field is architecture, and unemployment by professionals in my field is estimated to be anywhere from 15 - 50% (that there are no specific figures is a travesty).

So I was particularly irked to see the following advertisement on Craigslist:
