| Jul 8, 2014 at 20:09 | comment | added | avgvstvs | @Jigg I'm not getting paid to do my thesis, and the results will ultimately get used by someone else, maybe for profit, maybe not at all. Doesn't bother me. | |
| Jul 8, 2014 at 19:37 | comment | added | avgvstvs | @Jigg As currently stated, the question doesn't supply enough information to make a judgment on profitability, bets or no bets. Also if the company isn't profitable, moot point. There ceases to be an ethical dilemma if the prof isn't profiting lasciviously, or in a way that is grossly unfair compared to other student workers. | |
| Jul 8, 2014 at 19:19 | comment | added | Alexandros | @Jigg...because the company is not profitable. You do not know that. Internships are always very cheap labor, even for Google, Yahoo, MS. The fact that the money offered are not great, it is not due to those companies not being profitable. | |
