[quote name='s1eepinglionhart']Couldn't agree more. My college had a "co-op" program where you weren't getting any credits, but you were still considered enrolled full time and could be paid whatever was a fair wage for your skills. It usually lasted for a summer plus a semester, so most people did summer+fall. Because of educational needs, I was unable to start in the summer and delayed the start til fall semester. I spent four months in the industry, I learned a lot, while making $28 or so an hour, and the company ended up giving me an "internship" the following summer for the same payrate. Said company ended up employing me full-time when I graduated. (My only offer in a crashing job market, nonetheless.) Been there for almost 5 years now.[/quote]
