Hi all!

I'm currently pursuing my degree ( finance ) in first year, any helpful course or program can be taken at this stage? Is there any part time job for a student (such as unit trust agent) that helps to gain experience and useful when he's in working place and doing a job which related to finance.

Any replies will be highly appreciated! Thanks. =)

More to financial planner
But, as I know that financial planner ( like CFP ) usually tends to manage and give advance based on the financial condition,objectives and direction on customer basis.
What about the job which purposely to conduct financial planning, risk allocations, cash flows and allocation for the corporate?
Something like CFO? I'm more passionate on that.

Thanks for you reply. =)

I'm looking forward to explore and learn more about financial management, risks allocation and analysis for investment.
Or even better if I could gain some experience. There's plenty of time even after I have allocate the sufficient time to my academic and studies & also for entertainment , and I'm able to maintain my CGPA at 3.5 or above ( in UTAR-Kampar ). I hope not too use most of my time merely on academic since it's not the only important factor which may affects my career in the future later. I hope to gain more knowledge and experience so I could gain the competitive advantage and able to survive in such a competitive working environment later on.

Does anyone know the appropriate way to convert a cash flow statement in annual report using direct method to indirect method for the purpose of financial projection?
(unlikely to be done by reconciling manually)
