In the summer after my first/second year of comp sci I took co-op positions, compensation was ~15/hr. Seemed to be about the lowest that companies offered. I only took something that low in order to stay in my home town and save money that way.

Edit: Wanted to add that I'm in Canada and all co-op's through uni or otherwise that I have seen are paid, may be different elsewhere.

Im from Canada as well (London, Ontario to be specific). Im unsure what to expect, and I highly doubt that any startup companies will be at my universities job fair. Im not very interested in making tons of money, but I want the experience more then anything.
