Namely, a fairly large number of students are doing a lot of real work, at prices that are quite attractive to companies. The wages are possible only because students enjoy specially low conditions for tax, insurance, social security, etc. I'd stop this immediately.

I'd like to know what the promise is and what the bargain is. See the Lufthansa web site. Georg
