I'm a graphic designer and did the whole internship thing. It was at a small studio that wouldn't be able to afford more than three designers anyway but there were four of us interns. I felt a bit ambivalent about that.
The chap who ran the studio was nice though and he did recommend me to the place where I work now which would have never happened otherwise, so it did pay off.
Working five days a week at the studio and then weekends at the bike shop for three months solid was tough though. I don't have rich parents and still had to pay the rent so it was a struggle and totally exhausting.
