When BBs say their internship is 10 weeks, does that 10 weeks include training? I.e. 1 week training and 9 week experience or is the entire 10 weeks experience and they have additional weeks for training?

Includes training which can last for a couple of days to a full week. It does not matter, its an internship at a BB and you wont be doing "real work"--at least nothing compared to what you'll be doing when you start working FT.
OP, it includes training
Speak for yourself
I've always worked on high level stuff while interning. Maybe it is different at Piper Jaffray ;-)
What sort of high level stuff. I've accepted a S&T internship at a BB and frankly have no idea what I'l be doing. I found a few "day in the life" posts online but they don't really say much.
Piper Jaffray doesn't do high level stuff.
Get coffee Get lunch Stay out of people's way Don't screw anything up
Maybe a little research, but that's probably about it. Just be enthusiastic about whatever you are asked to do. Even if it's just ordering food.
Above poster hit the nail on the head. You will basically have to try to learn as much as possible without pissing anyone off.
I'd try build some networks too, especially during training/orientation, you probably gonna meet people that you not gonna meet later.
How does the experience change if you are working at a top tier boutique... will I be doing "actual" work?
