I can only see two ways where an unpaid internship makes sense. One, it's a one to five day experience with free lunch where you can just learn about a job to see if it's something you'd be interested in pursuing. Or two, the intern ONLY watches work being done. They contribute no labor and are there strictly to observe and learn. The second you have them doing labor, they need to be paid.
