This title may be misleading.<p>Their summary:<p>&quot;While having one or more paid internships had a significant impact on time to find a position and first-position salary above that of unpaid internships, internship compensation had no significant impact on measures of long-term career success.&quot;<p>It was a previous study that found no correlation. This summary found that internships in general helped with job prospects. Paid internships seem to result in better initial prospects but don&#x27;t differ from unpaid internships in terms of long-term success.
