Im going to be graduating high school this year and I was wondering if there are any finance-related jobs I can do with a high school degree that will show I have an interest in finance. I was wondering if maybe I could work as a bank teller. Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated :)

Wealth Management intern (cold email - easy to land). Happy to discuss with you more options, including self-study - creating materials for a deal that you would do exactly the same way when working in lev fin / capital markets (comps, risks and mitigants, spreading capital structure, credit agreement terms, etc.) .
Do you know where I can find a wealth management internship? Maybe on like Indeed or any job search website?
Relatively no postings (or at least a high school graduate would land), you just need to network and see if anyone needs an unpaid intern to do some work. Network and cold email would work best.
Second this.
You won't find these internships posted online, they're just local people who might be willing to let you shadow a bit. This is good practice for networking going forward. Bank teller is a waste of time.
Honestly though, there's absolutely zero benefit towards later recruiting of having an internship in high school unless you're trying to add to your resume for college applications. You can get a real internship freshman or sophomore year, and by the time you start recruiting you shouldn't have anything from high school on your resume anymore. You're better off doing well in a sport or hobby or just enjoying your last bit in high school.
Hey, Thanks for responding, the reason I am trying to build up my resume is that I want to transfer to a target school after my freshman year because at first, I wanted to do engineering and now I am really interested In finance. They only admit 10% of applications out of 600 so I'm trying to build up my resume as much as possible. Do you still think I should try to intern or should I just wait? Thanks again
In that situation this makes more sense (make sure you also have a strong GPA and join lots of clubs freshman fall). Just not worth it for the typical eager high schooler
