The Real World

One of the wonderful clubs at UVa is the McIntire Sales and Trading Group (MSTG). Not only is MSTG interested in the sales and trading of stocks, but the club also puts a lot of emphasis on internships and possible job prospects after school. The club is open to all years and one does not need to be in the commerce school to join. What is so valuable about this club is that it gives students the resources to get real world experience in a job market. Tonight at 7 pm there will be a representative from Citi at the Courtyard Marriott to give a presentation about the company she works for and she will be there to answer any questions. The most important part of this event is the chance to network. Although, being a first year, I probably will not obtain a job out of this night, I will at least have had some exposure to the field, the opportunity to get my name out in the world and make contacts. Not only is it important to do well in school, but it is extremely important to graduate with some experience. MSTG gives its members valuable insight into real world job markets.-Mina Asghari
