Don't bother getting an internship. On the top line of your resume, put "I AM CHEAP, TRY ME OUT!" and offer to work for < $20 / hour.
You have to look at things from the employer's perspective - it is very expensive to make hiring mistakes, because it usually takes a couple of months to realize that someone is pure dog-shit, and you've already agreed to a salary that is way above their productivity level.
By being cheap, you make the situation almost risk-free for the employer.
"Intern" says "please hold my hand". "Employee" says, "I promise to provide you value".
In a year or so, after you've learned a lot on the job, you'll be able to start hunting for a new gig at a much higher pay rate AND you can do it while already employed.
Good luck!
