Investment banking is a shot load of fun once you earn your stripes. Long lunches, nice wine, invites to all sorts of functions (including private boxes at the cricket, rugby, football etc) big bucks and if you play your cards right, enough time to do the things you want.

Very true, which is why I'm not sure it's worth the time to get the capital up. However an internship sounds like an idea to see what it's like.Originally posted by Provost Harrison
60 hours is one hell of a week Will. You're young, and although this would see you financially OK, you'll soon find your youth has slipped between your fingers in your corporate slavery. Be warned...
Well, I spend most of my time working for AIESEC, a charity that aims to promote cultural understanding by arranging for people to work in other countries, to experience culture first hand. I'm currently organising a project to send 15 politics students to Romania to teach civic education, citizenship and EU politics to high school students around the country, as part of a project to get young people in Romania interested in democracy. I've also started a management consultancy program, that developed people's knowledge of business and it's working, and will send 5 people each year to a developing nation to work with businesses, help them export to developed countries and help them run their businesses better. This is all without considering the jazz band I play in, Oxford Entrepreneurs who I'm hoping to do a project with, the chocolate society I'm in the process of starting, and, ohh, the 30+ hours a week I need to spend doing university work. Plus I have a social life, and a girlfriend I don't get to spend nearly as much time as I want with.Originally posted by Provost Harrison
And do tell, what the hell are you doing all that time? It is a relatively quiet year, you should have loads of time...
Let no-one claim I'm not making the most of my time here

It's full time, but it's during the Easter holidays, and only for two weeks. I'll still have time to do my holiday work even.Originally posted by Spiffor
Will, will you have time to study, or will it be a full time internship?Smile

That is short, I'd have thought it would have made more sense to do one over the summer for a bit longer...Speaking of Erith:

Good experience, looks good on the resume, not an overkill time-destroyer, and a less-than-shabby money. What's not to like

Yes, but they're only for second years. This is about the only first year internship I know of. Besides, most of my summers are booked from now until I graduateOriginally posted by Provost Harrison

You never get any decent opportunities if you don't enter before the deadlines. I decided I want to run a project that gives me the opportunity to travel to a developing nation my second year summer. Not really sure where, but it's quite a project.
And you only have two summers at uni, it's not that far ahead.Smile
