Never, I mean NEVER, intern for free. You will almost certainly be the equivalent of 'drink run boy' and learn nothing. If you are willing to work for free, find a volunteer group where everyone is unpaid. That has its own problems but at least it's sane. BTW, 'non-profit' is not the same as volunteer.
- dogruck 9y agoI hear where you are coming from, and I was always fortunate to have interesting, paid internships. I don't follow your logic though. If you are being paid, they very might well ask you to fetch lunch and dry cleaning. And, since you're being paid, you feel obligated to comply. Many interns have that unfortunate experience. If you're not being paid, then you just say no thanks, I'll go home instead.
