Well, I was under the impression the question was being posed in the present tense, and my response was written with that in mind..! That creates quite a different perspective with all this being in the past.

But if you really dislike unpaid intern work (and at 5 years I would certainly dislike that situation which sounds almost criminal to me).. why not get a job doing something else that you get paid for? It sounds like you wouldn't dislike anything much less than what you're doing right now; you might as well get paid for it, IMHO. Good luck to you, in the present.
