The part that stuck out most for me was the unpaid hours. My first two years on campus I worked an unpaid internship. I worked hours upon hours per week for no salary.
All that tells me is that you don't value your time very much.

If he had to choose between an irrelevant paid job vs a relevant unpaid internship, then I think he made the right choice. Always go for what has the better return on investment, as long as you can survive. This is especially true when you are young.
