I think a key point in this debate is that there is a difference between
hired help and an apprentice.

An apprentice is paying for an education.

If I go to a University a pay 8000 a semester it is more of an abuse than
working on the farm. It is pretty easy to put in 100 hour weeks at the
university--between class work, study time, part time job. . . .
