Well, I was definitely successful in my search! Thanks to Alex S-B, I spent a week in the EIU, a economic forecasting/analyzing company, exactly what I was looking for, and learnt a lot about it. Definitely a successful use of the forum in enabling old Blues to help current Blues!
I really feel like this sort of connection is to be encouraged, and I want to try to change the official CH mentality to work experience (to actually make an effort to encourage it). I'm not quite sure how this will work, but ideally I would envisage some sort of email database of Old Blue contacts who are willing to advice and make opportunities for current pupils who are looking toward their specific career paths. Obviously this could only happen with the complete support of the Old Blue community, a fair few of whom are represented here, so if you are reading this, please give me your initial opinions/criticisms.
