<prompt> Human: Heres my situation: I have been an intern working at a growing corporate business for the past 6 months. The internship pays 12.50hr and Im starting to think this is underpaid and I should ask for a 20 raise to match the market average for interns in my industry. Upon hire, I tried to negotiate the wage with HR, but the intern wage is set at that amount and can only possibly down the road be raised to 13.50hr. Since this was the company I wanted to work and learn under, I accepted the job. By doing this, I turned down another internship offer I had for 18hr and took a 1 pay-cut from my previous job.Ultimately, I know internships are for learning and not necessarily the wage. I am grateful for the large amount of things I get to work on and learn and I know I have been a help to my department and am liked by my team members. However, despite feeling like part of the team, I dont feel compensated as such because I know what my peers outside of this company are making and believe I could be making more. Thanks for any of your thoughts! I appreciate your time and feedback.  <response>: Absolutely not. No. Never. Talk to your supervisor and confirm you want to work for them, and ask how you are doing and what your prospects are to fast track to a real job with them.
