Graduated already and graduate program

Hi there,

Just wondering... Can you apply for a graduate program if you graduate this year (november)? Or will the bank get scared that you don't do anything till next summer and lose your "skills"?

Thanks.

F*ck em, if you think you can get the job apply to it. If the position starts within a year of your application date theres no problem. If they are not looking for someone from your class they won't get back to you. Solved.

Still not sure if I want to spend the next 30+ years grinding away in corporate finance and the WSO dream chase or look to have enough passive income to live simply and work minimally.
