Help WSO! advice my career options

Hi

I am currently a junior attending semi-target school majoring in Economics, and looking for an internship for this upcoming summer.. Though I did manage to get couple of interviews, I could not get the offer for the SA internship.

So, I really want to ask you guys for an advice.

Where should I look for now? I pretty much applied everything on OCR and could not get an offer.

I know this might sound stupid but I want to get a job in financial industry that would pay be at least 50k-60k with reasonable future upside ,because my parents are having realllyyyy hard time with their business, so I want to support them, or at least not be a burden on them.

Where should I look for? How do I network to land a corporate finance jobs? What options do I have?

I am also thinking about going to graduate program for Accounting, Is this a good option?

Thank you for your opinion
