#1594624 Remember "To Catch a Predator"?

The victims/bait on the show aren't children, but thats who the predators target, thats who they thought they'd found and were attempting to harm. IMO, even though there was an adult on the other end, they were still trying to abuse a child and are just as guilty as if there had been a child waiting for them.While I agree with you on the topic of sex offenders generally speaking, I disagree with regards to this television program. The people whose lives they are "harming" aren't children but paid sting agents. I don't really care about the humiliation part...
And I think its silly to be concerned with the predator's embarrassment. Abused children have a lot more than embarrassment to deal with for the rest of their lives, and the predators were happy to trade that for their personal satisfaction. So why not trade their embarrassment for ours? They aren't the victims in this story, they're the protagonists. There wouldn't be a show if they weren't going after kids. Plus the show (hopefully!) acted as a deterrent to the other perverts out there. I know I cut back on my child molesting while TCAP was airing. (Joke! Sorry, I have no control over these fingers)

Well my major isbusiness economics, but my emphasis was financial accounting, so I dont knowtoo much about investment internships, but this douche i dated got aninvestment job as he graduated, and it didnt seem too different fromapplying with a big 4 firm.
1. Internships are thebest choice. People get cocky and apply for 70k+ figure jobs that only 1% ofgraduates can get now, and then get really discouraged. Then its been a fewmonths since they've graduated and firms aren't looking for interns and they'velost their momentum. If you have no experience, you need to learn. Ataccounting firms they're almost always paid, so its basically an entry-levelposition. And it usually turns into a 70k+ position in around 6 months. (maybebecause thats how long it takes to pass your cpa exams though...)
2. You have no experience,and there are a ton of kids with the exact same degree as you, so all you cando is sell yourself. Aka, reeeeeally amazing cover letter. Honestly I dont know anyone ourage thats gotten a job without one. And you dont have to only apply forinternships when they are looking for interns. My roommate is bio and at theend of her junior year she sent a private pediatricians office an amazing coverletter, and got a paid internship there, when they weren't looking for anyone,or taking interns. She was the first and the only (at the time). I think itworked in her favor, it showed she had gumption, and that she was reallysincere when she said she considered it the best practice in sb and it was theonly one she was interested in interning at. Which in ADDITION to sellingherself got her the internship.
I know I'm just tellingyou what you've probably heard a million times, but it REALLY is the mostimportant thing (imo). And sorry i can't give you any investment specificadvice, hopefully my super general advice helps xD
