Never had an internship

>never had an internship

How fucked am I? If I graduate in May with a bachelors degree in finance? I applied for a few jobs which start in summer of 2017 and were denied. Maybe my resume is just shit idk or its because of that issue.

>How fucked am I?

as fucked as the rest of us who have been in the game a lot longer than you and have a lot more experience but still can't land regular jobs

pretty fucked
I finished degree but no internships and decided to drop out of searching for my original plan and went with my backup job.

Depends on specific field, job, etc.

But frankly, you're likely fucked.

Head to the dollar store and buy some kneepads

My dad was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer 3 months before my internship was to start in a different city. I decided to stay with my dad and help the family rather than go to the internship. I returned to school for my last year, my dad died, and it's impossible to find a job with my engineering degree.

I think I'm going to kill myself

Not Op but can i secure a comfy banking job if i do internships with a business major?

not amerifat btw

Example. A rejection letter I got today. It was a job where they were specifically looking for people with no experience so the organization could train the new engineers the way they wanted. I was all over that application. I even did a project with them in my final year at university and came in 2nd place in the competition.

The rejection letter "after careful review we will not be considering you".


K cool. I'll just go fuck myself

>tfw polysci degree, currently pulling in 80k/yr, and had no internships during college.

The job market isn't that fucked. You guys must just suck with interviews.

Depends if you go to a target for banks or not. But business degrees arent memes as much as the people on Biz think. Lots of jobs want people with degrees in business related fields.

Yeah I was about to dropout until I figured the demand for business related majors which came to a surprise.

Of course my target would be the banking sector. would be risky though as my autism tends to make me change interests. However, I'm reading a lot of finance stuff off school and for some reason I'm really passionate about it

You may want to check out wall street oasis then. Much better forum for banking related roles.

why?

did you ask?

Don't take it too harshly.

It's very hard to get recognized nowadays.

HR does not care about anyone, and the hiring system is broken.

What engineering degree did you get?

why don't you guys just get your parents to get you internships?

At least they sent you a letter. Better move on. You will make it.

All of you are just.... i can feel that none of you know what does it like to live in a third world country. You guys have soo many choices and opportunitues... Im the richest man where i live because i have clean water, and internet.

Find another career path because obviously you do not care about working in finance. Good luck.

Good for you. Now fuck right back to whatever third world shit hole you're posting from. Thanks.

What are my job chances with economics? I'm a second year and this thread is stressing me the fuck out.

Do some academic research, you can find a data science job if you have enough common sense and Calc 1 knowledge. Or go get a CS degree or something.

Thanks user, I'm already doing/working on that stuff. I feel a lot better now.

yup.
Do you have stata and R experience?
Also, how highly ranked is your college/is it in ny?

>how highly ranked is your college

Nothing special, but not shit. Also no experience in stata, can I pirate courses?

are you at a top 20 uni? and is your gpa above 3.5?

>polysci

It's "polisci" you fucking imbecile. You didn't major in multiple sciences and I can guarantee you're not making 80k

GFY

Check it out, learn some programming
Same goes for all you mathematics majors out there
It'll increase your hireability by a good amount
Be sure to pick up some common languages, but focus mostly on one, building a good knowledge base on it
It also helps if you actually like the stuff, so you do it recreationally
And don't forget for the love of god make a portfolio with projects you make.. if the employer can't see your projects, why should they believe you can program?

Not as fucked as the girl in your picture

>girl
u-uhh user

he did that on purpose specifically to get a reply like yours you dip

What do you do at your job?

Are you me?

depending on the area. Eastern Europe you'll be fine, Some US areas you are fine, but anywhere where finance is a big thing (NY, Geneva, Zurich, Singapore) you're fucked
