Help :/

Well hello there WSO,

I seem to find myself in quite the predicament. 

I am a Junior at a non-target US state school (maybe it counts as regional semi-target) majoring in PPE. I have a 3.1 GPA and will likely graduate with somewhere between 3.1 and 3.4. 

I've done just about fuck all these past years, no internships or work experience. I have no technical skills whatsoever unless one counts making jello shots. 

I humbly request any advice you could spare as to what/where I should be applying for summer intern positions, and what type of job I could feasibly land after graduation. I am interested in finance, hence my posting here, however I am very open to different avenues/divisions etc. 

If I am in fact completely bonked, is my only option after that an MSF/MiM? If so, where should I be applying given my GPA? Anything US/UK/DACH is on the table.

Thank you dearest Monkeys
