As a newbie to the working world I wish to aim a little higher while I'm still young, free of obligations and commitments. But that's a good point you've brought up, one does not need to become a trader to live a comfortable life. Nonetheless thanks for your valuable input, it really helped!
Actually ur internship exp is really...... nonexistent. I've seen pple who have interned at Shell, Trafi, Cargill, LD doing real work like managing a vsl containing cargo that are worth millions, doing futures trading position with the global CEOs on CC., travelling overseas under trading house scholarship. If u think tt ur little internship exp about doing some little research paper for the UN is truly worth anything, think again. I agree with all the comments abt being hard to break in and even if u have a deg so wat? If ur resume is not impressive, and zero communication skills u can forget abt it. I'm not being a sore loser, in fact I grad from a local uni and I worked my ass off to get into a trading program a few years ago. Hell when I read some comments abt wanting to switch because of passion I nearly laughed my ass off. If ure passionate u wouldn't be looking from outside of the window. I personally have interned in some of the companies I mentioned earlier, and I even quoted some of MY REAL internship experiences. If u take this message positively do something abt it. Don't wallow in ur own little hole. Do something.
