I'm a history and a business/finance major about to graduate. The difference between not only the pay but the relevance of intership experience within these fields was incredibly striking. All the museums and non-profits that showed up to advertise their interships really left a bad tase in my mouth. Low pay is one thing, but using college kids to do menial clerical work and manual labor with zero research exposure is pretty exploitive. The Finance internships I ended up doing paid a lot ($6,000 a month), but they were actual no-poo poo jobs that taught me a lot. It really made me appreciate that unless I wanted to roll the dice and make an attempt at a professorship, my history degree was largely worthless. The scary thing is that this also occured to many of the other kids and pushed most of them into attending law school.
