Won’t stop it. I was paid $11.75/hr as a Masters holder while on OPT. Should CPT/OPT be killed?

OPT is basically an internship. Internships are often at/near minimum wage, regardless of degree level or immigration status.

OPT can be 2-3 years as far as I'm aware. I think a little longer than a lot of internships.

"Often" is key here, many I know (including myself) made 350k or higher on OPT.
