New here—— Cindy

With a 3rd year Psychology PHD student at UCLA, it may be weird to change career path so late. However, I am determined to gear toward accounting/finance. Hopefully, IB or PE or relevant job opportunities. My starting point it to cooperate with professors form Anderson school, taking accounting undergraduate courses, sitting for CPA...also considering taking USC Macc during the last year of my PHD program (2015-2016), a 50,000 dollars one-year program, so pricy... But I really want to seek help at this forum for advice about how I can get my first internship in finance/banking industry!

Thanks a lot!
Cindy

 

"Why?" would be my first question as well.

"My caddie's chauffeur informs me that a bank is a place where people put money that isn't properly invested."
