Artist intern: unpaid, no lunch or travel reimbursement (including when they make you do pickup/deliveries), 12-20hr days, 24/7 on call, must be able to arrive at studio within 20mins, you will probably do a bunch of manual labor. And no not the college summer type of intern. They want you to have a degree already and work full time.

Possibility of getting work by networking and resume line but you have to literally pay to work your ass off for something like a year. Of course people do it because they love it and the chance of massive success (fame or very high wages when you 'make it') by being in the right circles but it really sucks.

when you’re being hired they say you’ll learn a lot which translates to, we’ll give you a lot of tasks that you’ll have to figure out how to get done instead of actually being taught skills and how to properly accomplish task. internships are not usually what they were meant to be anymore, which is more of an apprenticeship role rather than just a temp position.
