A gap year at an investment bank could bring you at least 25k +

OP

How would I get into an investment bank? Long hours I presume?

And what A Level's would you need? A's in all I guess?

They just wanted someone with retail and buisness experience with a minimum of 3 D's at a-level, and my as-levels themselves equaled 3 d's

Yes there are a few banks willing to take on a few A-level students who would be an asset to their organisation, hence their A-level gap year schemes, the bank of england has one, bank of Scotland has one..

Next time think a second before you try to be funny ok?

BOE isn't an Ib, no **** sherlock! It does have an Investment related gap year though, their deadline for next years gap year ended a few months ago
I'm not going to give you the links or the bank names, but there are at least 5 banks that run these gap years, but you don't need to worry as they have like 4 places each.

what are you on about. Get your facts straight. The BOE Gap year isnt at all IB related. I would say the Big 4 programmes are much better IB related. Rothschild are probably the only ones that do a direct IB gap year program:

I know nothing about invenstment banking. :smile:

I DO know that loads of hotels look for secretaries with A Level qualifications, as well as offices looking for receptionists. Either that or temping. Temping is probably your best bet. :smile:

£7/8 an hour I think.

hahahaha care to make yourself look like a bigger tool?

the BOE gap year has NOTHING, and for your slow brain i'll say it again, NOTHING , to do with IB at all - as pointed out by steve, the big4 gap years are the closest thing you can get

as for 'i'm not going to give you the bank names but they run schemes' - yeah ok mate, (a) i don't need them, and (b) THEY DON'T EXIST!

goodbye :smile:
