Why don't interns pay banks for the privledge of working there?

Experience is all that matters when someone is first starting out, right? So banks should make the interns pay them in exchange for training and the intern experience. Me personally - I'd pay at least $80 to put Goldman Sachs on my resume. The banks could rake in so much f****** dough just think about it... Discus

Gettin real Gerald O'Dwyer vibes from this post lmao

Don't beat yourself up on this, Eric. Some people like taking the long way home. Who the fuck knows?
 

There are programs out there specifically for people like you, however they're not $80, they're a couple grand. Career advising companies charge big money in order to get you placed.. I've alway felt that those programs were more or less scams.

Because then only the children of corrupt third world oligarchs would be able to afford IB internships.
