Generally, MBA interns work 10 to 12 weeks each summer, which means that many of these students are making almost half of the American median income in a fourth of the time.
Poets & Quants reported that interns at consulting firms brought home a median of $10,600 each month, while consumer product, private equity and manufacturing company interns saw an average of $6,600.
The site noted that big-name universities such as Harvard, Vanderbilt and Stanford likely saw lower monthly payments because students may have opted for experience rather than pay and were establishing long-term employment or accepting opportunities in start-ups.
