How much can I earn in coop?

Well I’m an economics major, and I made 18 at my last co-op. McDonald’s is minimum wage- aka 8 in Mass and even lower in most other states. I’d say that ten extra dollars helped out a bit. Especially with the 10k+ I’ve saved from my co-op funds while my parents helped me pay rent, which is the same they would have paid at another school since I still graduated in four years like a normal college student.

Course if I had done my co-op at McDonald’s, I probably wouldn’t have landed a job in banking with wicked high pay in NYC after graduation…
