An internship is usually a step to get a long term job, either via getting to know a company on a shorter term (and cheaper) basis, or via to get to know an industry.

Comparing a job to an internship isn't really that "fair" since the two aren't really directly comparable.

I also agree with above, unpaid internships generally are not worth it. At the same time the limited window you can learn means you'll be limited to what you can learn. A job might not include training, but the same is true for an internship.

There's just too many factors and differences between the two to really compare them correctly.

But again, all things equal why pick the "temporary" position?
