3 Years of Service
My internship was my last year in college and paid $11/hour, which translates to a base of $22,880 working full time. That was 1989, when starting salaries for my field in the "Big 8" international accounting firms ranged from about $21K-$28K (the higher number was at a firm that "didn't pay overtime or comp time" - the others all did). My starting salary later that year was $26,500, and I was one of the top five highest paid recruits from my University that year in that field - with comp time I was at about $30K. Doesn't sound like much today, but back then, I was considered to be doing well. So, not ALL internships are slavery.Internship....1st experience at slave labor excluding potential parent chore orders to do house stuff.
