<p>thisoldman, I agree that the quality of the internship experience trumps the monetary compensation. Our son internship was perhaps the most important aspect of his undergrad education because it instilled in him a genuine excitement in the academic program he had chosen. So much so that he is foregoing entering the workforce following graduation in May and going on to grad school.</p>
<p>However stickershock disagrees, not surprising given his monetary inspired screen name.</p>
