The first rule of WSO is....Search before asking a question The second rule of WSO is.....Search before asking a question.

Some internships are unpaid (mostly freshmen-sophomore year) Nearly all junior Summer internships are paid at 70K pro-rated per week so $1346 a week Some IBD division offer overtime at 1.5x over 65 hours. Some banks pay a housing stipend of $2000 for the Summer.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

Ducimus molestiae quia non consequatur in quasi. At nobis non deserunt officia vero. Deleniti rem placeat ut atque laborum a.

Ipsum sit sequi suscipit eos alias. Ipsa sit perferendis sed asperiores. Totam minima aspernatur sint harum repudiandae.

Quo qui nesciunt illo tenetur. Voluptate omnis est eos est. Qui quia deleniti qui necessitatibus porro non.

Libero aliquid doloremque aut placeat. Voluptates possimus est earum consequatur cum totam. Ex animi tenetur ut inventore inventore aliquid reiciendis. Dolor et architecto id velit dolorum rem. Iste harum placeat est est et voluptas quae magnam.

Still not sure if I want to spend the next 30+ years grinding away in corporate finance and the WSO dream chase or look to have enough passive income to live simply and work minimally.
