archanonymous,

If all you are offering is a little money and the chance to work on a project that won't make any money, why do you need their help? Why not just do it on your own time as a hobby? That's what it sounds like to me.

If it really is purely academic, can you offer the students academic credit?

Whatever the case I'm sure you'll find some students willing to do it, but that doesn't make it ok in my opinion. $5 an hour is not sufficient compensation.

There is nothing such interns anymore.  

Yep, back to master and slaves...expect this time you pay to be indoctrinated into the slave culture.

Nate looks like the kind of guy bored housewives or house husbands hire to have a semi pretend affair with while getting some new drapes or something. 

Creepy that the first thing is not his work but his face you see.

This is narcissist by the hour.

Over and OUT
