I'm a 3rd year M.E. student looking for an internship in Los Angeles for April-May 2003.

I am particularly interested in finance, consulting, or bank-related jobs. I am a permanent resident of California so the visa would not be a problem.

well, try signing up for http://www.monstertrak.com

maybe you can find something there. It's a service for US schools though but who knows, you just might get lucky.

Good luck!
