If you intern as a CS major, you will probably be paid somewhere between $10-$25&#x2F;hr. If you intern in Hollywood, you will make a nominal amount.<p>Does anyone find this surprising? There is a practically unlimited amount of programming work to be done and not enough programmers to do it all. On the other hand, there is a finite demand for movies and a very large number of people who would like to do it.<p>Many people would like to be professors. Unsurprisingly, this depresses the wage. What else is to be expected?<p>Adjunct salaries will rise and&#x2F;or more tenured professorships will be offered when either consumer demand rises or supply falls. Anything else is just wishful thinking.
