20 Highest Paying Tech Internships
Interns at certain high-profile tech companies can earn more money each year than the average U.S. citizen. Facebook, for example, pays its average intern a whopping $6,056 per month–$72,000 a year. And the lesser-known VMWare—which holds the No. 1 spot and describes itself as the “global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure”—pays its interns $6,536 monthly or an average annual salary of $78,432.
