Thinking back on your internship experience, how much were you paid? I was one of those suckers who thought the experience itself was my compensation. So, I worked two different internships without pay.

I made a tiny bit above minimum wage. Maybe like $11/hour? It was not glamorous at all. But it did give me something to add to my resume which I think helped me get my first job, so it wasn't all a waste of time.

I didn't even get paid for my internship. Back then you were really just doing it for the experience. Almost all internships were unpaid which is wild to think about.

None.

Over the last 25 years, I've refused to bring in interns at "no pay". At the very least, interns are treated as entry-level new hires. They learn and contribute on various levels. In exchange, we provide them an opportunity to support themselves for those few months.
