First-year student looking for a summer internship in trading

Hi everyone, I’m a first-year student at a EU target who aims to get a global markets SA next year. I’m currently looking for a summer internship in the field (paid or unpaid doesn’t matter) but I have no idea how to move. Do you have any suggestions?

What makes you think that a senior trader would want to hire a first-year student who probably has not even taken Calculus 3 and Linear Algebra yet? I swear, students nowadays have no patience to start working. You have 40 years of career ahead of you, mate. Chillax and enjoy your summer
