College Internships - How Much Do They Pay?

By Vickie Faria

Work experience that is relevant to a future career is an invaluable asset for students to have. It can be very difficult to be hired for a career position without having previous experience. With this in mind, many students are left scrambling trying to find a job where they can gain the needed experience.

A college internship is one way that the majority of students are able to gain relevant work experience. When considering taking on a college internship, however, a common question that arises is how much an internship college normally pays. There is really no set way to explain how much a typical college internship pays because it varies greatly from internship to internship.

Some internship college opportunities do not pay anything, so students that decide to take on one of these should decide whether or not they can afford an unpaid college internship before taking on the opportunity. Some students that take on unpaid internships are reimbursed in other ways such as receiving free housing for the length of the internship or having their travel expenses covered if they have to travel anywhere during the internship.

Other internship opportunities however offer basically unlimited earning potential depending on the effort level of the student and commitment to the position.

Many college internship opportunities pay about the same as any other job students could work at their skill level. In any of these internship college opportunities, an understanding of the payment level should be made before taking on the position. This will help avoid any misunderstanding and miscommunications that could arise between the students and the employer.
