Job and Internship Salary Comparisons?

spydabyte writes "I'm a current undergraduate at the Georgia Institute of Technology and have been getting offers for internships next summer. I was wondering if there is a source of information on intern markets or how a market's competitive salaries are. How do you know if you're getting a decent offer or you deserve more when you're entering a (personally) new market? Is there a definite source? Do you have your favorite? I know that many factors matter, as in location, previous experience, etc., but I think there's more to find out besides asking for my friends' current offers. If not internships, how about full time or careers? Any ideas?"

Translation:
We're tired of people coming to California and making fun of our horrendous driving skills, sushi addiction, goatees, and square-rimmed glasses.

Seriously though, I find it interesting that all the Californians want people from other states to get out and stop ruining their quirky state, while every other state wants the Californians to go home and stop mucking everything up wherever they live.

Why can't Californians and the rest of the country get along? Wasn't Rodney King from California? Why can we not heed his sage advice?

Your an intern. Expect to be treated like my little brother after having lost a bet. I will make you do the most menial of tasks that I don't want to do and give you table scraps and you will be thankful for the experience of being able to write it on your resume that you were my personal slave for 6 months and this company because it actually looks like experience when it was nothing but humiliation and torture. Welcome the day you get your first intern with a guilty pleasure.
