So internships are not going to happen this summer for me. However I am planning on doing engineering research (non paid) this summer.

A. Will volunteering research help my resume to land an internship next summer?

B. I have two options. One lab that at which I would volunteer full time and another more relaxed lab at which I can work however much I want, within reason. Will the full time position look that much better than the more relaxed lab? Would it be worth spending lots of time not getting paid?
