New monkey to the troop

Hey guys ,

My name is Zak, originally from France where I lived for 18 years , I just finished my first year studying Finance and Business analysis in Glasgow (Scotland) at Strathclyde business school.
I have always thought of finance as a possible career choice but this year has really helped understand what it entails to.

Other than classes I'm in my school's investment society, the finance society , golf , waterpolo and mnemonic memory training.

I decided to join WSO after I realized that I always ended up on here anyway when I was looking for information about Investment banking and finance jobs so I thought I might as well take part so as to get in touch with people actually working in the field , plus i thought it might learn more useful stuff and help once I have my own experience.
And I saw a couple of things that made me laugh, so that made me join too.

Cya on the forums :)
Zak
