_JPMorgan?_ _Morgan Stanley?_ _Goldman Sachs & Co?_ Lehman Brothers? Salomon Smith Barney? etc, etc… How do they like it?? I’m interested in getting an internship with one of these companies, and am looking for some insight on how to go about it thanks in advance -Will ---

It can be very hard to make money. The key is to already know many people with much money to invest. Cold calling hundreds of people is an almost immpossible way to succeed. Obviously if you do succeed they pay can be very, very rewarding. ---

Goldman Sachs, for example, has a minimum balance to get an account with them of only $10 million. In regards to the original pt of the thread willy, you have to apply for them very early and most of them are in new york, with a few in chicago, charlotte and minneapolis, so you have to budget to live there. They only interview at the ivy league schools and the like so arranging them is tricky, but I’m going to be doing the same thing shortly. I can keep you posted when I start the process ---

I am not trying to scare anyone but, you seriously have to know some serious investors unless you think you can convince wealthy, complete strangers to invest with you. I have had friends in this line of work, it is very challenging… ---

And, you will find out very quickly, that AOL or any other IM is a big no no, unless completely facetimed/logged, to only certain people also… lol hence why I don’t have AOL here at work… and hence why it still probably says I’m sleeping lol ---
