Business internships?

<p>I'm applying to colleges next year (rising senior) and am going into finance, but wherever I look for an internship, people keep saying it's a liability to have a high schooler in their offices, and they would have to get permission from the NYSE first (and I would most likely be declined in the end, anyway). Yet, I see people on here interning at hedge fund offices and other businesses. How is this so? Thanks!</p>
