<p>My knowledge is this aspect is very limited, so I just want to ask, is it possible or feasible to take an internship at a local bank (Bank of Stockton) or local branch of Scottrade (my dad knows the manager) in the summer before the start of college? I was just accepted into UChicago and my planned major is economics, so I want to get a head start as well as some work experience for higher positioned internships later on. </p>
<p>That said, both parents disagree and believe an internship is an application of learned knowledge, instead of going through something I never tasted before. </p>
<p>So, should I bother looking into some kind of economics internship or job, even if it's a bank cashier, before I set foot on a college campus?</p>
