Internship I should gun for?

A relative of mine is pretty high up in the financial department of one of the counties of financial hubs (think LA, Houston, etc.) and said that he could get me an internship in any department I want. What should I be looking into if I'm gunning for a junior year SA position later?

This is such a stupid question, I'm sorry. So your cousin is high up in some F500 finance department for a company out of Houston or LA? I guess something in finance is what you should go fo.

 

Yeah I guess I'll go for whatever I get.

Go and do regulatory stuff (utilities for example) - actually pretty complex stuff you can talk about in your next year's interviews.
