Freshmen year summer

Hi , im new on these forums and just about to finish my freshmen year at a community college in northern cali as a prospective econ/finance major. Had an opportunity to intern at UBS as long as my cc gave me credit, but being as dumb as they are, they didnt. I have tried looking for any internship this summer but no luck, so have resorted to cold calling =/ but still nothing. additionally being from a community college, it seems to me i am somewhat disadvantaged as i may be competing against stanford, cal, sjsu, etc... students. Is it a bad thing if i dont have an internship for my freshmen year summer?

thanks! :)

Your biggest problem is the

Your biggest problem is the fact that you go to CC. Seriously, I doubt any bank has ever recruited anyone out of CC. Get good grades and transfer to a good university.

yea i know... im planning to transfer this upcoming year hopefully to claremont mckenna or USC and see what happens from there

will usc help me more than claremont mckenna or some uc's (ucla or uci)? ive heard the alumni network is pretty good for usc students in helping to find jobs pertaining to buisness.

right now i am more concerned with just getting any internship though.. if i dont get one this summer, will i be at a disadvantage for next summer when i finish my sophomore year?

Jesus man, most people don't

Jesus man, most people don't get internships until junior year. Take it easy freshman summer and try to get a decent job soph summer in order to set yourself up for junior summer. Of course, always swing for the fences, but junior year is the one that matters.

Oh, and go to USC. It's not the best school in the world, but it gets recruited.

Or UCLA

Look at Clairmont too if you think you can get in. I know it is probably tooo late, but you were crazy for not taking the UBS role. But either way, just get yourself into a good school.
