I've worked as an intern for a few months. But it landed me a job.

There is a difference between working for free and working towards something and not getting paid for it in the meantime.

Working for free/volunteering/interning is a great way to get experience and to build a network.

Also, they say the thing you'd do even if you weren't paid to do it is what you should be doing for a living. I'm not sure what that is for me. I should find out.
