From what i have seen in industry i'm against the internships.

Firstly no-one wants to pay you for it. It's a job, and you should be paid for, no matter that you still training, you add value to the company even with a small tasks.

Another thing is that most internships you gonna get, gonna be doing jobs that no-one wants todo ( unpaid ), and gonna get 0 to none training about the read job.

Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but i thing you better with a junior role doing some real work, getting paid and getting support from senior when needed.

I don't know if it's different in other countries, but in Brazil you are paid for internships!

In my case i'm mainly talking about UK. Also have few friends from states that has similar experience. I'm not saying that there are no good interships, just that they are rare.
