just wondering,

I started at $10/hr in my sophmore year first semester jumped to $15/hr in junior year and then $22.50 thru my senior year. This were all different internships at different companies so no I never actually got a raise as an intern.

17.25 an hour....the more I look at it the more I think I was overpaid...people struggling and taking jobs that are paying 11 or 12 an hour. People taking jobs at smaller companies who did way more than me and get paid a lot less...man...that job ruled...

That's what makes being an intern so great! You get paid loads (especially by the bigger companies) to not do much at all.

Enjoy it while you can.

$10, then $12, then $20 all at different companies.

Guess it's worth mentioning that for my final internship, the company put me up in a 4-star hotel so that was nice.

I'm making $13.50/hr plus about $550/mo for housing. Works out to about $17/hr. OT is 1.5x base, or 2x base if you work two days on the weekend. They don't encourage overtime though. I pay about $30 out of pocket each month to live in a nice 2 bedroom apartment with cable TV/internet/washer/drier.

After a few more weeks, I go on salary and get as much as a $3/hr raise. I'll be expected to work more than 40hrs a week, but I do that anyway now.

I certainly don't sit around, I'm busy most of the time. Waiting on my boss to go over some test results now before I continue on with it.

This is about midrange as far as pay goes. Government jobs (NASA) pay less, some companies like Air Products pay a lot more. I interviewed with the EPA, I'd have been making $6.75/hr there.

LOL, no wonder NASA crashes space probes and has shuttles blow up on them. Cutting corners on high-tech departments is a recipe for disaster.

I manage all the interns at a HVAC company. I'm basically the head intern. I've been working at the company since I was 15. Started in sheet metal and worked my way up to AC Design.
