Hey I am going to do co-op next year and wondering how much it pays roughly. What have people who done it got? What year you did co-op?

I know some are very 'careful' before they decide to pay their workers even when it passed the deadline for days
rootX said:My lucky friend (we have finished first year) is making 22$/hr - He had ~70 % marks (almost average).
He's just an average guy who talks more than what he know (and it would sound complete BS)
DylanB said:jerk.. and here I am first in my class, making $13/hr and working in a town with a population of 5000, because I'm the only one the employer ranked!
I think the averages published at U Waterloo are something like $14-15/hr for first years and increasing to slightly over $20/hr as you near graduation. This would be in Canada, and most average companies will follow something along these lines.

The pay for co-op positions can vary greatly depending on the industry, location, and specific company. On average, co-op pay ranges from $15-$25 per hour.
No, co-op salaries are typically lower than full-time salaries as co-op positions are temporary and often do not require the same level of experience or responsibility as full-time roles.
In most cases, yes. Many companies have set salary increases for co-op students based on their performance and length of time in the position.
It is not common for co-op salaries to be negotiable, as they are often determined by the company's budget and pay scale for entry-level positions. However, it never hurts to ask and negotiate if you have relevant experience or skills.
Yes, co-op positions may also offer benefits such as housing or transportation allowances, professional development opportunities, and potential for full-time employment after graduation.
