text: how do i get a good job in finance? i am a student in lakeland fl. with 2.8 gpa (3.0 in majors -accting and finance) i am to graduate in dec but can't get anything close to what i want to do.  i can't get an internship, parttime or anything. are you willing to move and get paid a little in order to gain experience? i would recommend experience over more school (mba). keep looking. look at clubs/professional organizations, trade magazines in the field you are seeking. remember you can't start at the ceo or senior vp.
