I agree. Paid internships, or in my experience research assistantships, tend to cause scarcity and hypercompetitiveness, giving a leg up to those who were in a good position prior to applying. I was able to get where I am by working full time and doing volunteer research assistant positions, which meant having a busy life, but at least I had an opportunity that I otherwise would not have had.
