Every internship on this list pays at least $4,500 a month

An internship could actually pay more than a full-time job — at least if it's at Facebook.

Interns at Microsoft, Facebook, and other top companies would earn way more than the average full-time U.S. worker if their salaries lasted the entire year, Glassdoor found in a new report.

"The median annual salary for a full-time U.S. worker is currently $51,350," the report said. "However, if interns at these companies worked a full 12 months, their salaries would range from about $96,000 at Facebook to about $55,000 at Bank of America, much higher than what the average full-time American worker earns."

The jobs site looked through former interns' reports of their salaries to find the highest-paying internships for 2017. The rankings are based on median monthly pay.

Here are the 25 internships that bring in the most money.
