Stock Markets Exposed
Stock market?
I am interested in getting an internship during this summer dealing with stock market in general. However, while going through numerous internship websites, as well as job search engines, I became more and more lost. None of the categories were as clear cut as to say "Brokerage Firm." Instead, I came across; Accounting & Finance, Finance, Investment, Financial Services, Investment banking, ect. WHAT?! I just want to get an internship where daily vitality of the market matters, and decision have to be made due to that. Those options are not detailed enough for me to say, “Yes, that’s were I would like to be.” With my upcoming AA in business management, I understand that I will not be a broker; however, I just want to be around that environment. I am interested in getting to taste that line of work, also better understand the market in real life, enough with the books! I live in NJ, so lets not refer to NY, Chicago, or Philly.

- If I were you I would start out by doing individual tax compliance (tax returns) for JaksonHewit or LibertyTax next tax season. I did for two years. You won't beleive how handy this has been in biz - also, you can always do people's taxes for a few extra bux. Stocks? The tax consequences - short term gain & long term gain - of owning stocks are complex and interesting - nobody can make money with stocks unless you understand the tax consequences
