don't do it.

...if you are going to do it, don't stay in ED. Move to Clapham.

Do a relevant degree. Apply to all the graduate programmes. Do some reading up. Buy a decent suit. See what happens.

If you're lucky, you'll be in for a lifetime of staring at Bloomberg pages and spreadsheets by day, and schmoozing with clients by night.

If you're unlucky, you'll fail, and might actually end up doing something enjoyable instead.

I wasn't sure from the original (unedited) post what james84 wanted to do - a bit more clarity of what the end goal is would be a good start..

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! I did it for 10 years. Almost anything else would be less, well, soul destroying? But that's just me. You might really like it.

Edited because I re-read it and I'm not really that grumpy!

I would have liked to work in finance, and my post just came across as bitter. I'm not.
