    could somebody enighted me please. I am studying business picking modules in finance (very few - no option there) I am bored by everything but would like to maybe become a trader or stockbroker. I tink it would be really interesting making lots of money from buying and selling bonds and stock.

    I need experience though for 6 to 9 months from next january and would anybody know if ther would be any place in waterford or tipperary or cork that would be able to take me on a placement (paid prefered) or someplace similar that wouldgive me some knowledge or skills for this career also would a management accounting placement give me some experience in this area or would it be completely invalid?

    could anone enlighten me in tis career area? and also would i be able to buy and sell stock,shares etc for my own benefit? tanks

    Apply to banks in London for internship? They would pay well enough to allow you to live comfortably in London for the 6-9 months. You are unlikely to find any trading experience in Ireland outside of Dublin.

    I think the closest you could get to an investment internship in those areas would be with a private wealth management firm. I'm sure there are a few in those counties.

    Management accounting would not give you experience in these areas, if you really want it you should figure out who you know in the industry and work an internship from there.

    You could also try for an internship in a back or middle office in Dublin. If you work your @ss off you might be remembered when you come back after college and be able to engineer a front office graduate role.

    You can expect competition for internships to be pretty stiff in London for front office roles.

    You should also consider this.
