My daughter is finishing freshman year and also doing this. $550 per week plus housing and food.

My high school senior has an internship at $18/hr for 25 hours a week. Most of her friends are working job/jobs for $20/hr.

I work at a small company. We pay interns $20-25 per hour and it's usually 40 hrs a week all summer. I pay my summer sitter $25 for two kids.

UVA does.

Unpaid internships are for chuds. Never give away your labor unless it's at St. Jude's or somewhere you're actually doing good in the world.

Sounds amazing for a freshman

For engineers at top schools there are often summer research jobs, $6000 to 9000 for 8-12 weeks, from their home university or they can apply to programs at other universities. Mamy include free housing or discounted housing in addition to the stipend. It is past most deadlines at this late date. Some industry roles pay more but not typically for freshman. Many professors have connections and can help students find paid research.

Already a thread on freshman internships started earlier today.
