| 1) gpa is too low
2) not much work experience
3) you keep mentioning high school stuff
4) you are in college
that being said, there should be plenty of opportunities working in accounting, especially smaller firms or f500 types. you might have difficulty finding formal summer internships in the field, especially for banking or consulting since recruiting is over, but there are many less formal internships available where you will handle tasks on a more ad-hoc basis. i live in the la region, and i know there are plenty of companies that hire interns in these types of roles, paramount pictures, warner brothers, etc
not the most glamorous jobs, might do some of the simpler financial analysis, reconciliations, manual labor, and other menial tasks, but it should be good enough if all you want is to get your feet wet. |
