Master Thesis

Hi,

Next year I am going to start writing my Master thesis, I don't know what to write about as of yet but I'm thinking about it, I'm studying economics (Master level)

Since I do not have any experience in banking I was hoping to contact a bank to conduct some research on behalf of them / compile my master thesis on what they want in order to get me closer to getting a position in a bank

Do you think this is a good viable option or you think I should keep my research independent

If you think this is a good option I will start contacting firms this summer.
