Greetings from LA

Hello everyone. I stumbled across this site and thought it looked like a site with a lot of useful information so I decided to sign up.

I currently live in LA, and attend what is considered a "top tier" state university (lol). Finishing up my sophomore year, currently majoring in accounting (might double major in Finance).

Any who, I have some questions. How can I increase my chances of getting an internship without really having any real knowledge about either accounting or finance? What are some of the best firms to work for in LA?

Thanks in advance if anyone answers my questions!

 

Welcome. You'll need to be a little more specific. Do you want an IB or Accounting internship?
