Well, the posting does say "entry level". If I'm just starting out and
needed some portfolio pieces, $12/hr is better than free.

The point is to not lock into the mentality that we'll be stuck at
that rate. Still, would I rather write for 12, or sling espresso for
10?

I'd make sure the hiring company authorized me to use any work out of
context in my portfolio.
