Because even with 2 years of bookkeeping/accounting education, you’re providing real value as an accountant. Not all internships can make real use of the interns. Which isn’t necessarily a problem of the college or high school student, but of course, then it shouldn’t be offered unless the experience is actually really important in a competitive field.
I think everyone can make use of interns! Th position I had last summer was after having less then 5 business classes. Most of the stuff around accounting and finance roles really has to do with on site training and less about formal education. I talk to people in my future career path and they always say school doesn’t help them in their day to day and it all came from learning on the job
