And what will probably happen is that some scummy company will happily take his money and he will still be delegated the internship crap work. What you're describing is a school, but a school doesn't ship production code to clients and has teachers at the ready to mentor anyone who needs help. An internship is just a way to get the foot in the door with some light mentoring which usually consists of a senior pointing you in the right direction, not actually teaching you the stuff.

OP's post is disheartening to read.
This will probably less of a problem if more companies offered internships to inexperienced graduates instead of just undergraduates. The idea that you must be a student to qualify for an internship is an outmoded one, especially in a field of work where there are lots of autodidacts.
