should you pay for an intership?

do you think you should pay for an internship? well for those who don't know what an internship is it is like a job you get to gain experience and learn how a real job will feel and you also get training paid by your employer but for this while you work you don't get payed at all. well now with economic problem and unemployment companies want to charge now just to get an internships. i think this is not fair because why would you pay to work for free so i think they shouldn't charge to get an internship like the family that paid $8000 just for there son to get a job i think this is not fair so they shouldn't charge to get an internship.
