In my last year of school, we had a choice between finding an internship with a company or doing a simulated internship with an instructor. I had been delivering pizzas throughout my time in school and was ready for a change so I left my job and found an internship with a small company through an ad on Craigslist. The internship was paid, but not exactly well paid. When my internship was over I was hired full time.
I stayed on with the company for 3.5 years even though I wasn't really being paid due to the company being acquired and corporate policy was only to give percentage raises annually after the first year. However, I felt that I was getting a good trade-off being that I was gaining a lot of valuable experience and really liked the team I was on. I'd probably still be there had they paid me properly, but that is water under the bridge.
