Boston Dynamics in Waltham?Does anyone know of.any engineering companies in MA that could hire an intern? My son is a 2nd year engineering student looking for an internship.
Or, if your school has a career services department, which likely has some connections to other companies, your son could get into contact with them.Likely the wrong place for solicitations of internships. This is a car forum after all, and the field of engineering is quite wide even within sub-disciplines. There are typically career fairs hosted by the school.
It did take a LOT of searching, but eventually I got an internship (not in engineering) using that tactic. None of the places I asked had official intern programs (as those dont exist in my field at my level).
I'm not "in" a field, I meant I was interning for a field. To my knowledge, it is perfectly legal to have a 14 year old as an intern. This will also be in the summer, by which time I’ll be 15. The field in which I’m interning for is finance, and I’m doing it specifically to learn more about financial modeling and conducting proper general market research, both of which are among the things I’ll need to be proficient at for my career (investment banking). One more thing I want to only see is how much algorithms are used (probably not much) and where they could potentially be implemented by me for my role in the future. Although it’s called an “internship”, I’m pretty sure I’ll just be a excel and PowerPoint monkey, which is fine by me as I can still shadow other employees and get to learn more, which is the main reason I’m going. Doing actual impactful work will sadly probably be reserved until I’m doing college internships, since there’s a pretty low chance a company trusts a teenager with any kind of impactful work (in the field of finance specifically).Isn't hiring 14-year-olds illegal in the U.S. . . . or have I lost track of how long it's been since you were 13?
But I'm curious, though. Just what "field" is a young teenager in?
I consider both parts of that a compliment, so thanksSometimes I can't decide whether you're 14 going on 40, or 40 going on 14.
I do enjoy your posts, though.

I don't think he meant you, lol
If you're planning to go into investment banking, you'll be an Excel and PowerPoint monkey for your first several years as an associate .... And get to stay up all night with the young law firm associates, senior associates and junior partners working with your investment bank ....I'm not "in" a field, I meant I was interning for a field.

Not yet, been canvassing the area. I think those that offer internships may have already found them.I don't think he meant you, lol
Have you got any answers in terms of the internship?
Add analysts to that, and you are pretty much spot on lol. Associates are getting more involvement these days though, and the "90 hour weeks" portrayed in the media are EXTREMELY rare (normal hours are still high at about 60-80 a hour depending on your firm, but oh well).If you're planning to go into investment banking, you'll be an Excel and PowerPoint monkey for your first several years as an associate ....
