I can't speak for a percentage but if you go to an agency I think you're likely to get one. But they are super competitive. But think of it this way, if you get one that is you'll learn much more than you will at an unpaid one.

With all of the tech companies in San Jose - I would think that there are opportunities for paid internships. I would scout out potential companies that you're interested in and try to make connections with the PR or marketing folks at those companies - either via LinkedIn or by asking for informational interviews. I would also scout out non-profit organizations or business associations that might also have a need for PR and would be willing to pay for your services.
