<p>I did an unpaid internship for a senator. They did not offer paid internships. We had the option of doing it for credit but there was no way I was paying 1200+ for an internship. So I did it without the credit. Still got to put it on my resume, and it helped launch me in to a job with the state. IMO, it was definitely worth it but it did not seem so at the time when I was barely sleeping due to juggling everything.</p>
