I want to become an apprentice stockbroker.

[Luke Randall]

I am currently 15 studying at secondary school.

I am looking for apprenticeships but none seem to specify age minimum or have an easy way to contact them. I understand 16 is not the desired age but I have been told by multiple people they start at 16.

If anyone can give me an insight or any information on what being a stockbroker is like I would be interested to know. I do understand it is high pressure and rather complex, but I think I would excel when needed to network or communicate with others.

Welcome to the site - I don't know much about apprenticeships in the industry, but I think this site might be helpful to you:

https://home.citygateway.org.uk/

It is mentioned in this article about apprenticeships supported by the LSE:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...change-launches-apprenticeship-programme.html

Also I would also say do not limit yourself to looking just at "Stockbroker". There are many other careers in the city, covering IT, insurance, currency etc e.g.

Good luck with your search

This may sound odd but do these jobs pay the same?
