I am an intern for a National Laboratory...the dress code here is basically no dress code. I ususally wear jeans and a tee shirt everyday with tennis shoes. My boss wears these faded jeans and sometimes he even wears the same shirt two days or three days in a row. Now these people make big money b/c they are scientists. I'm talkin 100,000 + a year.
As someone mentioned earlier it depends on the industry. I work in a laboratory with many chemicals so wearing the business stuff is definitely out. Some of the people hear wear outfits like wifebeaters with bball shorts etc.. It tends to get a bit ridiculous. Now when I was an intern at the State senate in Alabama I dressed in my little business casual wear. It just depends on the job u have and what is acceptable at that particular company.
