The pay is/was actually higher than T26E4 says. Most jobs available to undergraduates fall in a 4-tier pay/difficulty system. Tiers 3 and 4 appeared intense to me, but they give only marginally more pay. Tier 2 is $12.50 an hour, which may be the most common level. I believe Tier 1 is $11.80, and I'm almost 100% certain that it is more than $11.00.
I would advice upcoming freshman looking for a job at the beginning of the year to apply to several and to keep several as options until you have worked your first day in a job. Early on fall semester of this year I got a job in a DNA sequencing facility. The woman in charge had me come in and explained briefly how the lab operated and was having me come into work the first day on Wednesday. On Sunday/Monday, I got an email from her saying that after thinking a bit, she came to the conclusion that I did not seem to have enough hours for the training needed in the first few weeks, even though it didn't matter for working after training. She said to come back a different semester without even asking me if I could do more hours (and this is after telling me I had a job). Subsequently, I had to start from scratch again and didn't get a job till late. Hence my suggestion.
