^Agreed 100%.

If you want to get “professional experience,” flip burgers or serve coffee or bag groceries. You’ll make more money than your unpaid internship at a city councilman’s office and you’ll learn more about the world than you will making photocopies there.

If you want to serve others, do it locally. I’m sure your city/town or neighboring ones have food pantries or soup kitchens or the like. Start volunteering there and keep doing it throughout the school year. It’ll cost thousands of dollars less and you’ll be helping people just the same.
