I should have specified: the fellowships I’m talking about are in London/Switzerland. Still expensive but nothing that justifies paying people with barely a bachelor degree and no work experience
sounds like it’s also below Zurich minimum wage (not totally sure if that minimum wage is currently in effect or not) and similar to the London “living wage” (which isn’t a required thing)

I don’t think that helps much? If it was in, say, Geneva then $3k/month is under minimum wage.
(I agree $3k/month is above minimum wage in London)
Is your actual objection to hiring new grads to at all?
