graduate employment

Hey ya'll. First time poster long term reader. I am in the process of finishing a finance and law degree and want to work as a stockbroker/for a stockbroker. I am currently having a look at the potential of graduate positions and there doesn't seem to be too many on offer. However plenty of research assistant/equity assistant type roles are around.

My question is would this be a suitable way to break in the industry? Any tips/help would be appreciated.

Cheers.
