I graduated during the dotcom bust, and the best thing I did was taking a temporary job at pretty much minimal wage. As soon as I had some experience on my CV, I got a lot more interviews afterwards.

I am in agreement that apprenticeships seem to be a good thing that we should reintroduce. Working in IT, real world experience seems to count at least as much as anything I learned on university. The only times I have needed to implement a sort algorithm is for interviews.

That's fine then. I specifically mean internships which either don't pay anything or which pay some token amount like $100 a week for fuel expenses. If they pay a minimum wage then well, they are basic level entry jobs, that's fine.
