JKCP Internship Placement
Does anyone here has experience with JKCP's Internship Program? Apparently, it places high school students into finance companies for several thousand dollars(5-6k). I read somewhere that some interns are placed into PWM in BBs. My little brother who is a high school junior is thinking about doing this in the future since he wants to break into finance. Do you think its worth investing 6k in this program? His logic, which I agree, is that investing 6k in an internship program may build his resume and help him when he applies for competitive internships. What do you guys think?
I think you are your "brother", and that you should see a doctor about multi personality disorder before you enter the industry. To answer your question, think about which "finance" firms would be open to such an arrangement, and if it can add any value to a CV. If I saw a kid "worked" in PWM in high school and put it on their resume, I'd ask if there father is a FA or a HNW client. If neither, the experience was likely completely useless.
yusucks, i think you need to go back to college. so stop making silly guesses. im a freshman in college. and if you read my name again, i think even with your low intelligence, you should be able to figure out that I want to go into the consulting industry.
if you have to pay to get it, it probably is shit, and you are probably too.
also, according to your profile, you are an entering freshman, yet to step foot into college, not significantly different from your "brother."
I am an entering freshman, which makes me ineligible for the program. Fudox, I think you are shit for posting useless posts. I'm asking for advice not garbage talk lowly fucks.
i guess i am too much of a "lowly fuck" to give advice to a kid who just turned 18 (or maybe even hasn't), but think it through you little tool.
if an "internship" offered by a summer camp costing 6k honestly sounds like a "good way to break into finance," i don't think you should be going to college.
Obviously someone suspected about lying about one aspect of their profile would not be suspected of lying about other parts...
fudox, if I'm so young why are you even bothering to argue with me? Why don't you go out and see if you can pick a fight with a kindergardener. I don't think you are i-banking material. as i said, you are a lowly fuck.
yusucks, how did I lie? and please, its a internet forum, I have no need to lie. if you think like that, i also don't think you are ibanking material.
also, Analyst Exchange's Analyst Advantage program also wants 5k to place you in internship in addition to training. fudox, by your logic, wouldn't AA's internship program also wouldn't be a good way to break into finance?
Somebody ban this asshole please!!!!
p.s. being a highschool graduate and a freshman in college are too different things. You are not a freshman until you take at least one class, so technically you did lie.
Now stop posting here and go find another forum if you are going to be such an asshole.
I don't think you're in the position to be judging who is "ibanking material" or not.
And, I agree with the above replies. You shouldn't pay for an internship in finance. The only worthy pay-for-internship program that I've seen is TFAS for people wanting to break into the D.C. game (lobbying, Cap Hill, etc.)--a few buddies of mine now work in circles previously unavailable to them.
In finance, it is more respectable to intern for no pay. Or, at your age, it's more respectable to just read a good valuation book and network (set up informal meetings/coffee visits/lunches).
Any responsibilities you'd get at this point would be utterly worthless. It would be more valuable to your future to know some people.
Watch your attitude, too.
i apologize if i came off as an asshole. I only lashed out at the two because they started to talk trash.
Do not pay for these internship. It does not help, unless you are connected to get a foot in the door. If you are connected, you do not need to pay.
thank you artmonkey.
I don't see how someone who likely had never come within 10 feet of a bank's elevator or ever actually met a banker can decide who is banking material. Reminds me of a time I was at a Morgan Stanley superday, for whatever reason, security made everyone wait around in the lobby for the HR lady to come pick us up. Everyone is talking to each other awkwardly, and some kid from NYU Stern comes up to me and starts telling me how excited he is to be in the MS building, and how he thought he was dressed like Gordon Gekko that day. He then proceeded to tell me that a Chinese fella from Stanford didn't look like MS material. You can only aspire to be this guy in three years. (He didn't get an offer....and guess who did??)
