How much should an internship cost the student?

<p>S got a summer internship with his engineering adviser/mentor. Wage paid for living expenses. Net loss because of dual state income taxes, loss of suit outfit, and transportation. Can’t complain because in return he got a fantastic project completed, great recommendation, and good OJT training. Spent many hours unpaid during spring and following fall semesters. Confidence builder. </p>

<p>Another summer engineering internship he got paid bunches. But basically bored. Saved alot that year because he lived at home and commuted by bus. </p>

<p>His current internship is an Opportunity!</p>
