Internship for College Freshmen?

Looking to have something to do during the daytime this summer and learn more about the industry/connect with people. Going to a top 5 B school for undergrad. How should I be looking for these internships? Anything from IB, PE, consulting, or RE is great. Just trying to get some insight and a resume field.

Would have to agree here. Do your best to join the premier investment club - and start reading.

Either way, enjoy your damn summer - it might be the last one you have off.

 

Cold email regional boutique firms to see if they're taking summer interns (you can find them on LinkedIn). It's a little late but definitely do-able, just keep sending out emails, it's a numbers game. Good luck!
