<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I was wondering how much do interns get paid? How hard is it to get an internship?</p>
<p>Also, when we are working as interns, are we very productive with our knowledge in school and college?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>This question is VERY general has a great deal of variability.</p>
<p>Internship pay depends on your major, industry, academics (school/GPA), your interview and prior experience. I imagine a BS engineer could make anywhere from 0 -6000$ per month–but once again it is VERY variable. </p>
<p>Internships are difficult to get right now due to the economy but once again they vary due to location, major, industry and your relevant experience/academics.</p>
<p>Finally in terms of productivity it, yes you guessed it, depends on the internship. Some specialized majors might use more coursework than others but in general your education provides a base but the internship should provide you with more “hands on” and job training.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>What are the general working hours? Do internships interfere with the college work?</p>
<p>An internship is typically during the summer and shouldn’t interfere with school. Hours vary by industry but typically are 8-9 hours per day. Co-ops occur during the school year and follow the same work day.</p>
