Thanks guys. I have been working on using connections primarily from my father and grandfather ( i hate doing that, but honestly, i need to suck up my pride and do it)

e61, Its funny that you say that, the Alum network for the hotel school is incredible. Unfortunately, i hate the hospitality industry now. I'm interested in commercial real estate and finance--if i ended up as a hotel manager, i'd probably lose my mind and would rather jump off a cliff lol.. I suppose i could find a hospitality real estate firm such as the hotel division at JLL...

I'm looking for an internship this summer; and hopefully a job offer after next summer for when i graduate. I found a place that does personal investment management for individuals and family's with over $3MM in assets.. They currently manage about $19 billion in assets. I think that could be a cool place to work. Anybody have any opinions on working for a company such as that?

meiac, i agree with the networking idea--but it depends on where you're looking to go. Banks look at your resume, they wont even consider you if you have below a 3.5.. And i think you also need to at least have a 3.0 to get a decent job right out of college. After your first job, nobody will ask about your college GPA..
