Yeah, I struggle with this, too. My employers have a high turnover rate because a lot of people can't afford to work here very long. I did manage to pay off the debt I incurred my first year interning for the company last December, though, so I must have learned something about making the situation work! I paid off my credit card, too.
It's worth it because I love my job, I love my coworkers, and it's very difficult to break into this industry. (I moved to SF for two years to try it down there, and even with 1.5 years of experience under my belt, it was impossible.) So it's worth it... for a time, at least.
