Any tips on negotiating intern salary?

Do u have a competing offer?

I took another company that was willing to pay me more than $55 an hour.

Cool. After 23 years teaching college kids, my annual sal + bennies amounts to 20k less than that.

Can I be an intern?

I see. Now I know I still have a lot to learn about all this internship stuff. I thought these things are simple as 123 but there are a lot of things to consider as I see it now.

@gluedtomycouch that is great! It is comperable in the experience and prestige on your resume? If so. good for you.

I do want kids to understand these are not about the pay, but the experience you get. Otherwise you have no entree i to the business! Trust me, most interns are useless, not bc they are dumb, but bc by the time they get to know the company and what they need to do, the go back to school, or rotate to another department!

Good luck and soak in all you can!
