Hi Nonosh,

I am a foreign graduate too and after I passed the FPGEE and looked for an internship, they paid me as a graduate intern from the beginning. They kept doing that for the entire 11 months it took me to complete the 1500 hours. I am not sure whether it differs from employer to employer, but this is my experience with Vons (Safeway). You are right, it makes a huge difference - with the grad intern pay I could afford daycare, whereas I probably would not even have started an internship if they had not offered that pay
