Community service(NOT INTERNSHIP) at bank good or bad idea?

In currently in high school and I'm forced to do community service. I was wondering if doing my "service time" at a bank would be a good idea. Im not talking about interning or trying to get paid or even trying to network. I aspiring to be a banker one day and I think it would be cool to be around it. Would any bank let me do this? Sorry for the horrible writing, im a math/science guy. I have a list of banks with contact info from this thread Banks and contact info

was going to give a legit response....then saw the username.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

Dude, you have negative points? That's freaking hilarious! If you want to hang out around banks, go for it, but honestly, it sounds like you need to get some friends or a social outlet of some type......

TechBankingYou should probably check with your parole officer, but working at a for-profit institution isn't sufficient to fulfill "service time". I'm assuming you are being forced by the "state" due to you use of quotes...

ahahahaha
