<p>Do you think it is possible for a high school freshman to get an internship of work for no pay at an investment bank or private equity firm?</p>
<p>No. Freshmen in college barely get these in most cases.</p>
<p>If you know someone in that organization, sure. If you have no personal contacts, and no one you know has the contacts, then no. Most HS students find their internships through family, friends, teachers, etc. Talk with the people you know, and find out if anyone knows someone who is in the industry that interests you.</p>
