java work

Hello everyone! I am a beginner Java developer. I have been studying Java for over a year and am currently looking for a job.

I was offered an internship, but in order to get it, I would need to pay $3,000. In other words, I would have to pay to work.

Is it worth considering? I’m struggling to find an internship anywhere, and my university requires me to complete a practicum, which I have to find on my own.
