I have met many undergraduate interns this summer. They all grew up in American.

Freshman: a Boy, Working at packaging department. $9/hour, 6 hours a day. Get local job by parent contact or advertisement. Understand that there is no easy money.

Sophomore: Boys and Girls, working at chemistry laborotories in industry. $18/hour, 8 hours a day. ALmost all of them were refered by peer professors. They took party of interns almost every week. None of them would take a laboratory job in the future.

Junior: a girl from MIT, working at major finance company in NYC, $25/hour, 12 hours a day. Get the offer from competative interviews during Janurary and alumni reference. She is thrilled on her job and wanna to stay. There is party almost every week such as Yankee games, site viewing.
