You're on the right track looking for experience in finance earlier on. It's never too early to start developing your skills, gaining insight into the industry, and building your professional network.

In finding part-time opportunities related to finance, you may want to start researching local banks, credit unions, and financial advisory firms, which often hire part-time tellers or junior associates.

Part-time teller jobs are a great entry point for high school students. It gives you a chance to understand financial transactions and customer service and helps to build your communication skills. Some firms also offer internships where you help the professionals there with research and admin work.

You can also consider part-time roles in retail where handling cash and understanding accounts can be part of the job. While it may not be explicitly finance-related, it will help you to sharpen your financial acumen.

Start with exploring online job portals dedicated to high school students or entry-level positions. Reach out to local businesses and finance firms, and don't forget to leverage your network of family and friends who might have leads.

Be prepared to start in an entry-level position and demonstrate your eagerness to learn about the industry. Any exposure to the field will be valuable in shaping your future education and career decisions.

Last but not least, remember to add these experiences to your resume and your college applications - they'll demonstrate your dedication to the finance field, initiative, and real-world skills. Best of luck with your job search!
