<p>Sup pplz,</p>
<p>Many people are working during the summer and calling it an "Internship"... no, I dont mean retail, I mean big banks, brokerages, stuff like that. Would it make sense if you called it that or would you look ridiculous?</p>
<p>Also, not to gloat at all (I swear), how many people do you know have worked at a major Investment Bank at an International Office during their highschool years (summer time ofcourse)? :D Im ecstatic!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>At my school there’s this relationship with a major bank (not like Bank of America or anything, like investment bank) and a lot of kids get hired to become interns there over the summer.</p>
<p>I assume kids with connections (because of family) can get internships at top investment banks easily.</p>
<p>It’s not as glamorous as anyone could possibly imagine it to be. Despite their best intentions, they can’t legally give you work that will put them in a position of a). serious liability with their clients or b). need certification in the field. </p>
<p>Which means “interning” in high school will often mean unpaid labor of being the office slave. </p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, some intern positions are very rewarding; it’s just that most aren’t what a high school kid should even want to consider during their valuable summer break.</p>
<p>i got on of those at a hospital.</p>
<p>@Gryffon5147: I understand, but I think I’d atleast get a SOME taste of things before I jump into finance and find out I dont like it. I know its not the same as a regular hire, but you get to work hard, and show your passion for something you really like.</p>
<p>I’d rather be a “grunt” than a Camp Leader or something. I like this stuff, a lot.</p>
<p>You made a pointless thread just to brag?
Congratulations.</p>
<p>@Unconfidential: Maybe if you read the post you’d understand the quenstion.</p>
<p>Yeah I read it.
My first post is my initial reaction.
And to answer your question, no.</p>
