Maybe enough have said this, but internships, particularly in tech, are absolutely making $20k+ over summer with housing allowance or full paid apartment on top of that. A friend that is in TV/Cinema has spent two years in unpaid internships (which seems illegal or at least horrible), so it depends on the field.
The bifurcation in internships is just a sample of what exists in the larger field of employment. It’s a bit OT for this thread, and I probably should have bitten my tongue, but I wanted to point out that much2learn had been unfairly called out as not being credible.
Are we even sure the OP is legit?
^^ Nothing the OP has posted raised any flags to me. Why do you ask, @CaliCash?
@LucieTheLakie The OP has vanished.
Maybe we scared him away, @CaliCash!
@decisions199, are you still reading?
@decisions199 probably saw everyone sniping about things totally irrelevant to his OP (and totally hijacking his thread) - what’s the point of him coming back? To read about $20,000/summer internships for CS students when he has absolutely no intention of studying?
Nothing more to say at this point.
