Summer Job/Internship HELP

I will be graduating high school this May. I plan to study finance/accounting in college (most likely at Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign). I really want to find a summer job/internship that will help me in my future. What kind of jobs could I apply for that would look really good on my resume and give me work experience that would impress future employers? To put it simply, I want a job this summer that would give me a better chance of obtaining prestigious internships while I am an undergrad. I have already applied to all of the local banks. What other businesses should I apply to? I appreciate any help. Thanks!

What should you do between high school and college? Get laid.

If you really want to work at a major firm as a high school grad, that won't happen unless your dad is the CEO.
