under wage it says "N/A"

I thought this internship was paid, the position seems like a great experience but if it's unpaid, I'm not even going to consider it. I'm a recent college grad taking advanced classes while I continue my job search. I have a full time offer in the 60k range and while this experience seems great, it's just not worth it to work for free. My interview is scheduled this week, should I email them and ask?
or would it be better to interview and try to negotiate for pay afterwards if it's unpaid?

I'm looking for a part-time internship position that will give me extra experience and get paid to help with some of my expenses of living here

You have a 60k offer already?

If you can spare the half day I'd interview and see what it is all about and see if you can get paid for some of it. But it doesn't look likely :(

I highly doubt you could convince them to turn an unpaid position into a paid one. If you are DEFINITELY not interested in an unpaid position, just send an email saying wage was listed as "N/A" is this a salaried position. If they say it is unpaid, cancel the interview. If it is paid, do your interview and talk $$$ afterwards.
