      Internships for software are almost always paid, and compared to other disciplines, paid reasonably well. $30+/hr in Canada is fairly normal for dev/qa internships, and I’ve heard from several students that I’ve interviewed that they’ve made more in US companies. Some companies also offer raises for students that return for successive terms.
