ER internship without taking a finance class?

Hey guys,

I'm a sophomore and I got an ER internship offer from an investment firm. The thing is, although I will be finishing my first financial accounting class with an A, I haven't had any classes in finance. (not even Principles of Finance) Do you think I can be a "good" intern with this limited knowledge?

How can I learn anything meaningful doing my job? What skillsets/knowledge/attitude is required to be a successful sophomore ER intern?

Thanks a ton!

 

We don't care about your knowledge in when you are a sophomore intern. All you need to be is detail-orientated, show initiative, and be willing to learn. If you don't understand something just ask.
