<p>Wow, $15,000 for a summer job? That’s like earning $60,000 a year. Rice Leadership doesn’t pay anything near that. My son is looking at about half his stipend going towards housing for the 9 weeks in DC. Adding in the rest of his living expenses and the non-campus wardrobe he’ll need, there won’t be much left at the end of the 9 weeks. Still an awesome experience for him.</p>
