Pros
I am currently a junior in college, studying Business Finance. If you're looking for an internship where you're getting coffee for your boss and job shadowing, this isn't the place for you. You're challenged every single day to be the best that you can, and your impact on your clients, as well as your personal income, will reflect that. The internship is what you make of it, and I knew I loved this career right away. The highly selective program provides the tools and resources that you need to be successful. All you need to provide is the work ethic and discipline. The entrepreneurial aspect of this career is incredibly attractive to competitive individuals, and the opportunity for long term success is there if you put in the work.
Cons
You have to work incredibly hard to be successful, but to many, that is a huge pro. Immediate income is small, but the focus is long term, just like building any business.
