Why did you decide to intern at Pluto?
I noticed that most of my friends and myself came into college knowing nothing about money, how to manage it, and basic financial literacy terms. Though I had time during fall quarter to research topics like credit and budgeting on my own, not everyone does. So I jumped at the opportunity to help make financial literacy accessible to a younger audience!
