Working students vs. trainees?
Hello everyone,
My question is very simple: Why do working students in a company earn more than their own trainees and is that always the case?
I just saw this through a friend who wanted to start working for me as a student employee and then sent me job advertisements. The description is simply "20 hours a week for a salary of €1,300 to €1,600." As a trainee, I get €1,000 for a 40-hour basis.
I'm being trained at the company with the prospect of working there. And the student is there for half a year but gets half or double the pay.
What is the logic behind this?
Thank you very much for the answers.

The logic is completely clear:
So I, best in the third year of training, who has already met the company for 2 years and knows all the processes, are unqualified, although I am potentially hired in a year. But a student in the 2nd or 3rd semester, who has 10 different subjects and only knows something but nothing deeper, is qualified. So qualified that he gets twice of my salary and that even in half of the time. For that he's probably gone after 6 months (or after 2 years at maximum time)??
I think I can see now, thank you. Very logically so in the after
Can it be that you suffer from self-examination?
Yes, in 1 year, if you have successfully completed the training, YOU are a qualified labor force. Not now. Now you're just an apprentice.
And can it be that you didn't understand what students do at all? Or did you confuse them with interns?
Work students are usually hired for current, demanding projects and they do highly qualified work because they correspond to them. have already acquired expertise in their studies.
And if the task or project is completed, then the working student period ends. It's logical.
