Casch 0 #1 May 8, 2003 Alright I'm taking a Business Management class where we learn mostly Accounting, but also some marketing and general business information, along with some economics. My teach said he would set me up with an Accounting Internship with a local tax firm, but that was 3 months ago. He said he's still waiting for information. I can't wait much longer as school is coming to an end, and I need to get out of my crappy job at the movie store and into something with a possible future. I'm NOT going to college, at least not now. I can't hardly handle HS, so it would be pointless to go flunk out of a 4 year institution. I will probably take some more business related classes at a Com. College. At this point I am seriously thinking about becoming a CPA. I'm wondering if any of you know of an Accounting or Management Paid Internship that I would meet the critera for? I really need to get out of this place, make a few bucks, and form a path for the rest of my life. Any takers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoobieCootie 0 #2 May 8, 2003 I know the church I go to offered tax help, but now that April 15 is over... You might want to take a look at doing some bookkeeping stuff as an alternative to accounting internships perhaps? Just to get your feet wet. I know that small businesses do their taxes quartely, so keep your eys open. Maybe start prospecting now so you'll be ready when it rolls around. Whatever it is, don't ever take any unpaid internships no matter what. You're helping a business and a business' purpose is to make $$$. Don't subsidize them. Remember that. As for management stuff, I think corp. America will initiate you to take Weasel 101 - 501 as you move up the ladder. Trust me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #3 May 8, 2003 Maybe check AccountTemps? If your teacher isn't following up after three months, flip him the bird and cold call the accounting firms and tax firms in your area. I'm betting there aren't many paid internships out there, so don't quit your job at the movie store yet. However, you may be able to get some entry level general accounting hours etc toward your CPA.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
