What's up everyone? In about a week I will be shadowing my roommate's father who is currently the CFO of a company. I'm entering my sophomore year of college, and don't have any previous experience in a financial field. I want to make the most out of this experience, so if anyone has any type of advice please feel free to pass it along. Thank you.

If you tell us the name of the company or at least the industry we can probably be more helpful but some general advice below:
1) Listen more than you talk 2) Be outgoing and friendly to his colleagues but definitely do not embarrass him by making immature comments or asking stupid questions. 3) Offer to pay for his lunch as a sign of gratitude for taking you on. 4) Be courteous and respectful 5) Start reading the WSJ or Financial Times. Ask insightful or relevant questions.
Most of this goes without saying but I have seen at least 2 examples of similar situations and the kids were absolute disasters.
