Let's say you're a free intern, training for a job. A company in your dream field comes along, offering to pay you a salary somewhere between "a lot and a shite ton." Would you stick around to help out?

A ton and a shite ton. Well let's see reality. Fourth round will get $300,000.00. None of it guaranteed. Don't make the team you get nothing but the signing bonus whatever that was. Probably $100,000 let's say. Any money you make the IRS and your agent will take half. 15% to 20% to your agent and 33% to 40% to the IRS. So don't make the team and you are lucky to get away with $50,000 and some change. That maybe a shite ton to someone working for minimum wage but a college graduate should make that in a year and a half to two years.
