<p>Benda, </p>
<p>Please try to be more polite. Telling people to “shut up” is not only rude by very immature. if you met a few Northeastern engineering students who earned less than $16.50 per hour, that’s fine. But your sample group is quite small. There are over 14,000 undegrads at Northeastern and 3000 co-op employers nationwide. I worked in Northeastern’s co-op department as a work study where I saw fair number of the employer surveys. Some of the larger companies do in fact pay students more than $16.50 per hour. But there are really no set limits on how much a student can earn. Just like the real world, almost all co-op salaries are negotiable. How much a student earns depends various factors (e.g. grades, prior co-op experience, etc.). I think it’s safe to say that I know what I’m talking about.</p>
<p>By the way, why is there no Wentworth thread on this board? Perhaps you can create one.</p>
