Internship Tradeoffs...

Hey guys,

This is my first post on this forum and I have a question to ask you guys.

Would you rather do a paid boring internship with potential opportunity to win a full time offer after a long period or an unpaid exciting internship which gives you real deal experience but there's no way to get a full time offer? Both are no name boutiques.

I chose to jump from the latter to the paid one. And right now, I'm surfing on this forum...... so I would hope to hear some of your thoughts.

Thanks!
