yeah, but status is only useful if you actually HAVE it which you most assuredly will not have by volunteering for unpaid labor. "if I demean myself as much as I possibly can then surely the big people will make me big too!" what?

sure, but you can bootstrap unpaid labor into e.g. a job at a fashion magazine

Really it depends on whether the industry actually uses unpaid/low-paid work as a rite of passage/"training"(medical interns) or slave labor/cannon fodder (entertainment industry/gossipmongery)

I think in either case you can't get away with it (for long) if the labor market is actually competitive. Med schools turn out too many students, although it's less intense than the zillion people dumb enough to want an entertainment job (a group that included me for a while!)

Yes, I think I would agree with that. Labor markets are pretty distorted across the board, and it shows.

the very most fun labor markets are the ones that have adapted to extract the value of trust funds and your willingness to work for $0/year can't compete with Kendall and Tyler's willingness to work for $-50,000/year

As someone who has modeled the idea of renting the Farm LARP lifestyle to Debra and Braeden, I concur.
