It might already be floating around somewhere on this forum, but just thought I'd bump it up and share it

When I go on internship in about a year as a CPT in the Army-
0-3E with 6 years prior service Base Pay 4602.00/Month
Basic Allowance for Sustinence 192.74 (Not taxed)
Basic Allowance for Housing (Ft. Lewis WA) 1522.00 (Not taxed)
Total- $6316.74 Gross
Thats $75,300.88 per year, as an intern. Join the Army, hooah.
The armed forces pay the best....by far. $45k+, they have good benefits too. There is the whole 'enlistment' thing, but if you were going that route anyway, it'd be a no-brainer to go for one of their sites. My buddy did the navy internship a few years ago and really really liked it. They offered him some assurances with training and whatnot, but that stuff is always TBD, so that is always something to think about.
Forensic/ Federal Prison sites pay very too. Most everything else has poor stipends.
My irony is that the two places I'd least want to practice pay the most.

This is generally true of everyone. Very few psychologists want to enlist in the military or work in a prison, so the pay is higher. Simple supply and demand.
Everyone is (rightly) scared of being shipped overseas to a war-zone, or to be attacked by a antisocial convict. I've heard instances of both happening. They don't pay these people enough, in my opinion.
I actually saw a clinical psychologist job ad the other day that started with "Tired of working in a prison?" I kid you not.
