<p>a meaningful internship.</p>
<p>I have worked menial jobs since at age 15 making $6 dollar a hour and quite frankly im tired of it.</p>
<p>First off im fortunate that money is not a concern for me, my parents handle my tuition and other fees plus all the money from working the last 4 summers is still pretty much there since i really dont spend my money on stupid things. I dont need a job that brings in X amount to contribute to my tuition. I worked those odd ball jobs from age 15-19 to show responsibility but now i think i need to look deeper. Instead of finding a quick fix that will supplement money now, i much rather get a internship that PAYS NOTHING but be beneficial for me in the future( something that looks impressive on my resume).</p>
<p>Im business oriented, my major is Finance, i run a small business on ebay, i play the stock market here and there ( MSN MONEY IS HEAVEN FOR REFERENCE). SO i want something business related to do over the summer, if not that ,some sort of criminal justice job interests me. I was really interested in getting a internship with FBI in Washington over the summer but you need to be junior standing going into senior year. IN my cirriculum, a internship is incorporiated to graduate and that will come next spring but i dont want to wait.</p>
<p>I guess my main problem is i dont have many connections to get me a job within a business world. Unlike many who claim they uncles, and friends of their father who are high level executives at Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, i have none of that. Dont get me wrong i come from a great family but not a business family.</p>
<p>So i came here hoping someone can give me a strategy to land a useful job or internship during the summer, something that will benefit me in the long run.</p>
<p>PS- i would have put this in an appropriate forum the internships but there is limited activity in that forum with 2 or 3 responses everyday</p>
