I know our interns this past summer (in a relatively low COL area) were getting $23/hr.

$25

Should be between $25-28 depending on location

If you have intense loans get a public sector job so you can get them forgiven in 10 years.

If approved, which won’t happen since they’re in my parents’ name (I’m paying though, it’s just lower interest).
But, the dot in the state id like to live in is 2 hours from home, I’d have to pay rent on top of the lower wage, and I hear it’s difficult to get overtime approved there.
If I work over time over summers + co-op (and have no extraneous expenses…) I’ll graduate with very little debt. A difference of 20k to shorter hours for less pay, not including rent prices.
I do want a public sector job after graduation, but wanna grind it out while still chipper.
(Plus I’d rather be debt free at graduation than in debt for 10 years)

I interned there this past summer in Chicago suburb office and was paid $23/hour. Not sure if yours will change overtime since I was only there one summer.
This is incredible, I mean literally 2-3 years ago I was getting internship offers at $12/hr and I was so happy when one company finally offered me $15/hr.
Let’s not undervalue ourselves!

One of the benefits to interning at kimley horn, if you’re like me and desperate for cash, is that interns are allowed to work over time. At a lot of other places I’ve researched, overtime is also 1.5x, but it’s difficult to get extra hours approved regularly. Kimley horn, on the other hand, won’t bat an eye. And interns get bonuses, which sounds weird but might not be?
Not trying to preach the praises of the company, it does suck for most people, just explaining why I ruled out dot (18/hr here)
