I don't know what your market rates are. $15/hr is about $30k per year based on a 40hr week (this isn't exact, of course, but I basically take the hourly rate, double it, and add 3 zeros to work out an approximate yearly income). Is $30,000 a year reasonable for an intern? "Intern" isn't a job title where I come from, but from what I understand, it's a trainee postion, so it sounds like it may be an ok rate to me
