Internships are invaluable for those that have gone that route. It gets you in the building and networking with people. I created an extra intern program because the IT one was broken. I cannot tell you how many interns I've had, how many I've hired and how many I've tried to help place because they were good. This is for almost all industries that have corporate offices.
My best friend interned at a manufacturing company and then stayed on there for 17 years.
I know of people who have been interns that are now in upper management of large companies.
YMMV.
