How much can I earn in coop?

And as a note about my “average”, this is for most science/arts majors. Business is probably slightly higher (maybe $11-$16), engineering higher ($15-$20), while nursing majors and computer science majors also make pretty good money. Some science majors can hit around $18 if they work in biotech.

As first timer co-op students, you’re probably going to be on the low side of the spectrum (upper-classmen with co-ops already on their resumes will get the top jobs). Also, some students choose lower-paying jobs if it will be a better experience.

And, grain of salt, I’m just basing this off of people I know/what people around campus say about wages, not based on any real statistics.
