I did NVQ's got 2 level 2's in Car Mechanics, was absolutley useless to me as no employer had heard of them at the time, got paid ?35.20 (the 20p was to cover travel expences as travel came over a certain amount) per week doing 5 days in a workshop and 1 day in college. Now in the gloriously underpaid and overwork world of archaeology, degeree and pg.dip and having fun in what I'm doing.
On the subject of free work at uni, done plenty of research digsd while I was there as well as gaining some experince, though not always the best, I did get to go to places that I would never have seen, Orkney and the Isle of Lewis for example.
All my expences where met by the lecturer food, travel, accomadation and even one year payed by a lecturer.
I wouldnt change the oppertunities I had.

May god go with you in all the dark places you must walk.
