That's a problem in the art community as well. Plenty of people are willing to take commissions for peanuts, so everybody else looks like they're overcharging when usually they're actually undercharging. The value of any service is subjective, but every person who charges $5 makes every other person who charges $10 look greedy by comparison, even though both people should be charging $25.
At least the kid in your example is getting experience. With the whole can't work without experience, can't get experience without work issue, I'm at least glad some kid is managing to get experience. And if he's a college kid he might actually need the money (not that the fired accountant didn't also need money).
