Internship Advice !

Hi all,

Currently a freshman with a 4.0 gpa that is struggling to secure an internship this summer. I’ve been eagerly searching for something flexible (assuming it’ll be unpaid) where I can learn as much as possible

Any ideas? I’ve called wealth management, search funds and investment bank boutiques with not much luck. If anyone has any specific information I’d be grateful - honestly just looking to learn as much as possible.

I know it’s sort of late which is why I am coming here for any comments or advice that can be offered

Thanks so much
