Hello! My econ freshman child has received an internship offer back home but would prefer to stay in the city (of course!). I know as long as a student was working over the summer that's a good signal for future internships. Do most freshmen just go back home and work normal $10-15/hour summer jobs after 1st year? And I assume a decent % stay for summer quarter classes? I've heard of Metcalf but I'm unsure what the hourly breakdown is for those internships. I'm trying to help my teen decide what wage/experience would be worth going home for, which from my child's POV is a sacrifice. And what is "market rate" for a talented UofC teen that wants to intern in Chicago? Anyone know what would be considered high end ("prestige" -- gosh I hate that word!) offer for a rising sophomore?
