I recently was contacted by an institution in my field asking if I was interested in pursuing a part-time unpaid internship. I was previously rejected by them when I applied earlier in the year. Unfortunately, they caught me at a very bad time. I am unemployed, stuck in a lease, and need to make money. I am applying for anything and everything and because I am unskilled in the areas of food service, retail, and customer service having open availability is probably the only thing that will get me a job at this point. I told them I am unsure about my availability and will get back to them, but I am conflicted about what to do.
I did 4 unpaid internships in college and got 2 job offers out of them, in addition to experience. They were unbeatable for getting a foot in the door. Are you sure there's no way you can do the internship and take a job with flexible hours? It's not sustainable over the long run, but those few months of misery might lead to better things.
Never do unpaid work, most of the time they try to take advantage of you. Also if you are commuting through train,bus,etc then you have to consider that you will have to pay for that and lunch.

It’s at a museum and I live a few blocks away. I could walk there. However they rejected me once and I think my interest has waned since then. I was an Art History major but honestly I ended up doing really nothing with my degree, which I feel bad about. I was considering grad school a year ago which is when I became interestd in doing this. Now I’m somewhat “blah” about it. I guess I feel like I have imposter syndrome at this point. I feel like I need to go back to school because I am not intelligent enough or polished enough to get into that field. I already knew by the time I graduated in 2014 I was doomed. I already felt tired and washed up even then.

Right now? Earn a paycheck. In the future? Not sure anymore.
