Depends on the field. Yea generally a bad idea. In tech, absolutely don't take an unpaid internship. In some fields (at least in locales where it's still legal, not California), it's a filter for rich kids who can afford to go unpaid. So yea, probably don't take an unpaid internship if you're not already a rich kid and don't have a family member telling you it's a good idea.
