Just got an event planning internship, how much should I be making?

I currently work as an event planner and make $15.75 an hour. This jobs is ending soon so I found another one and was offered a job at $11.00 an hour. I am going to be a senior in college but I have over three years experience already in event planning. Should I try to negotiate on the wages? If so, what's a comfortable way to approach that?Just got an event planning internship, how much should I be making?
You can always try - but as an intern, you are limited - you are expected to take part of your salary as 'experience'



if you want to negotiate, simply tell them that you have experience that you feel is worth a little more cash...list some things that you did VERY well that you know will benefit them and see what happens - the worse they can say is no.Just got an event planning internship, how much should I be making?
