Have you looked at doing a Master's in a Finance related subject? I did my Degree if fields away from anything like this, but I'm starting my Master's in January in Business and Financial Management, and a lot of my modules are based on investments and core finance. Maybe something to consider?

Try IGIndex - I joined them and they let you start with 10p PP - then after 3 weeks it goes up to 30p PP then eventually after 6 weeks its £1. I used them and found them really useful - they also provide you with a guide on how to do spread bets, and you can chose whether or not you wish to risk...

Check your PM's :)

Yeah it isn't very easy to find things like that these days unfortunately. Have you looked on a website called:- www.efinancialcareers.com or www.cityjobs.com Have a snoop on these as they have sections for interns. Have you spoken to your tutor or anyone at Uni? They may be the best port...

Welcome to the forum. I'm currently studying for the IMC (Investment Management Certificate). I'm not rushing to complete it as I don't have the time, with doing my Master's, working in the bank and trading - I'm just trying to do an hour or 2 a night. I personally think you shouldn't worry...

Benji - IB means Interactive Brokers (www.interactivebrokers.com) I personally use Trade Fair (www.tradefair.com) What are you looking at trading? Are you looking at Forex? Spreadbetting? It really depends on what you want to trade :)

I'm excited for the second one! It was supposed to hit the cinemas in the UK next week...but they have now delayed it until September to enter it into a film festival :(

Can I just ask generally...what are firms like for having a Degree/Master's in a specific field? I mean say for example you had a Degree in English and then a Master's in Business - would people still consider you? Or is it a one-way street?

I know this has kind of been answered but I thought I would provide my two cents. May I ask...any reason why you don't want to do a Master's after your Degree? I am somewhat in a similar situation. I'm finishing my Degree this summer and I begin my Master's in January in Business & Financial...
