Getting into the banking industry
I have an atypical profile. I was born I Canada, but grew up in Norway, Costa-Rica and Bulgaria. I've had a lot of different jobs since the age of 14 when I worked as a fishmonger during the summer. Had summer jobs at 15 as cashier in a gas station while doing my counselor in training certificate at a local summer camp. Moved to Norway with my parents, worked in retail at 16 and started Norwegian high school.
Didn't make a lot friends and went back to the French School, did an internship at the Nobel peace centre, started a science program and then my parents moved back to Canada, I registered for a DEC at CEGEP, first public then private but never finished. Worked here and there for a while, retail in NYC , some cafés as a barista in Montréal, retail again, cashier in a bookstore and barista in some cafés until I moved to France.
Finished my French BAC. Worked as a translator and private english tutor. Started a degree in economics at Université Sorbonne Paris Cité, transferred to business school, Institut Supérieur de Gestion in Paris. Moved to Norway, started University again and worked in private security. Moved to Canada, worked as video games tester, call centre agent, fishmonger, did private security again, tried myself as an actor, did some urban farming, got my travel agent certifications and registered for random classes at CEGEP and Uni.
Currently I have 2 years left to finish a economics degree with a Norwegian University. Is it worth it ? I'm 30 now. How can I find a job in banking ?
