<p>Is there any good ones?
Thanks</p>
<p>Join a hedge fund
Become an analyst for the federal reserve
Go the VC route and launch your own company and secure A1 funding
Become president of your local business associaton</p>
<p>As a possible econ major, I’d also like to know. :D</p>
<p>ok cool but how would i go about doing that. How would i join a hedge fund or become an analyst for the federal reserve as an 18 yr. old cc student. </p>
<p>and what about something economics based but in the entertainment side. Thanks man</p>
<p>starting a small business within your school or area is probably good.</p>
<p>
I second this as a possible good idea. If you know enough about business and you can gather enough people to make something happen in the chapest, most *economically<a href=“ha!”>/i</a> possible, then this can turn into something great, especially if it involves another aspect that you like (i.e. you like fashion, so you sell clothes or whatever).</p>
<p>Also, look into your CC’s Mathematics Dept. Sometimes Math professors are involved with modeling that can also apply to economics and they may let you in on some stuff. Also, Math professors sometimes get together in large groups to contribute to writing/editing math textbooks, which may have a relation to the economics in math etc. (i.e. statistics or modeling). Same might go with the Business Dept.</p>
<p>You can also try to be a part-time teller at your local credit union. My credit union is always accepting teller applications and I see new faces in there all the time, probably accounting, finance, or econ students looking for work exp too.</p>
<p>If you’re really hurting for something to put on your resume, then join the school’s Economics club, and if they don’t have one, then get it started. This can also be fun if you’re starting it because you can take it any way you want and schedule events as you’d like them (i.e. a weekly pow-wow of econ interested students discussing the recent issue of The Economist or otherwise discussing relevant economic issues and brainstorming solutions yada yada yada.</p>
<p>ok thank you guys! i am not sure about starting a business because im not really interested in that.<br>
But what abou a sales internship? So if you were the one assessing my application and you saw a sales internship, would that look good to you? 0.o</p>
<p>ECs dont even matter if you are a transfer</p>
<p>try VITA
[Free</a> Tax Return Preparation for You by Volunteers](<a href=“http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html/]Free”>http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html/)</p>
<p>relatively simple, looks good on paper.</p>
<p>
I was going to suggest VITA as well, but didn’t know what kind of time frame the OP was looking at for obtaining something since VITA won’t be commencing for another 6 months.</p>
<p>thank you! and i havent even started college lol. I’ll start in late august but I just want to make the best possible case for my admittance!</p>
<p>That’s the spirit! Do Vita, it’s solid.</p>
<p>Get a part time job or internship if you can. Something relevant at a well known firm. Bank teller might work.</p>
<p>join a few clubs related to business or economics, become a leader(president or similar) in them</p>
<p>Sell oranges</p>
<p>
ell oh ell, that made me think of Freakonomics.</p>
<p>In fact, if you want an idea for an Econ EC, read that book (or watch the movie that was subsequently made) and participate in compiling studies for something like that. Ask you school comdey club about some humorous insight to add to it. If I had enough free time, and enough Econ club members were willing to do it, that’s what I would do just to say I did it.</p>
