I agree with everything that you said in there. I never worked in the field that my degree was in and they don't tell you when you are studying how it is that someone actually get into that field. They don't prepare you for HOW you are going to get into the field. The tired path that doesn't work anymore of degree/internship/job is a dead path for the most part, yet they still keep pushing that on people. In my college experience most of the professors had never actually worked in the field that they claimed to be experts in. How's that ever going to work?

I have read stories about people getting internships and not only are the not paid, but the graduate is expected to pay them for the "experience." What a sham.
I was offered a bunch of unpaid internships and what a racket that is. Like, how am I supposed to live during this time? Have a second job? Wouldn't the average person still be required to pay off student loans during this internship? How are they meant to do that?
i think that if your internship is unpaid then this is a sure sign that your education is not worth anything. No offense intended to you personally, of course.
