Is it possible to get an internship at 14?

[Account Closed]

Hey everyone, it's Michael. So as many of you guys may know, over the summer I am looking to get an internship with somebody near me. I live in westchester county New York but what I'm looking for is to work for an investor or a brokerage. Do you guys think that it would be possible for somebody my age, 14, to get an internship somewhere or with somebody? I also have many skills that I have from other things that I do, and I feel that I can do it, but I just want your advice on some things I can do and if it's possible to do this at my age.

@Account Closed pointed out, you can write clearly and I assume your reading comprehension is as good if not better. Why not start your own blog with REI book reviews, property analysis, interviews, etc? You might want your target audience to be your age and a bit older. Take what you are learning and share with your peers in an engaging way. You could right about so many things: job hunting as a teen, how to ace middle school, what you can do in high school to really prepare yourself for a career, etc.

There is no limit to the information you can gather and share.

This process will teach you so much more than an internship. (think about all the books you can read and review and think of those authors as mentors. think about people you can interview about their careers - in REI and otherwise - you can start networking with them).

Eventually you can monetize this, if you want.  Also it is a great platform for future jobs/internships.  

Let me know if you need any more help or ideas!   I'm excited for you!
