I'm an intern working as a metallurgist-in-training so to speak at a rolled aluminum R&D facility. They pay $3200/month which is decent for still being considered a student, and it certainly pays for the toys. But I have 4 super tough years of university behind me that got me where I am now. In 12 months from now I'll be starting an entry-level engineering position at $63,000/year to start and with lots of benifits. Hard work and many sleepless nights truely do pay off in the long run.
But whatever you do, doesn't matter if you make tons of money, if you hate the job then you'll hate your life more than you would at a job you love but making less money. Find something you like doing and work your way to the top. Don't settle for a ****ty job even if the money's good. You can always have the best of both worlds if you are willing to work for it.
