<p>sticker you are putting words in my mouth by suggesting that a high quality internship implies that it will also be an unpaid one. Actually our ds did have a reasonably well paid one, but that was not the reason he accepted the opportunity. It was because it was a fairly big player in the field he is interested in, was located in one of the field’s geographic epicenters, and because during the two interviews he had, they indicated that he would be working on a development team for a big multi-yr project involving about 40 employees and not working in the mailroom or being an office gofer. I am merely positing that money should be a secondary issue.</p>
<p>If two internship offer similar benefits, absolutely accept the one that will pay. The more the better.</p>
