Consider a position as treasurer for student council or other student-run organizations. This will introduce you to the responsibilities associated with managing money. Or explore a part-time job that will familiarize you with banking procedures, such as a bank clerk, teller, or customer service representative. This is also a good way to network with professionals in the banking field.
