Job before freshman year

I am an incoming freshman who will be attending a southern semi-target and was just wondering how beneficial is having a job in your intended field before you go to college? Does it help at all for recruiting or is it too early to have an impact on future employment?

 

It can't hurt you. If you have the opportunity give it a try, you never know finance might not be your thing. What do you mean by job? Is it in the finance field or is it like consumer banking? I have found it very difficult to get an internship without about 2 years of college on my belt.

Give it a try work experience never hurts. (Most kids going into investment banking do not work in finance before their freshman year)

 

Energy finance, not consumer banking. I'm probably going to go through and do it to test the waters I just wasn't sure how it would be viewed on a resume considering it occurred before undergrad rather than during.

You're not really a born and bred, traditional aristocrat if you work hard enough to get into Harvard.- Prospie
