talk with your counselor -- if ur in your sixth semester you've only been taking core classes for a year-- maybe you can switch majors -- probably better get prepared for some intense math though -- maybe work for a bank part-time as a teller so you can see how they work from the inside out and get to know some of the banking executives who are in the business you want to enter or are interested in -- it would help you get a handle on the types of courses you really need -- who knows one of them might take you on as a protege

If you want to be in investment banking you really need to aim above average and if possible get into a brand name university as for some reason it is often assumed that the networks gathered there will be useful to you. Having said that, there are many many many reasonably paid jobs in banking and advising on investments, and taking any finance courses or economics courses will help. Reading the economist or WSJ will give you a lot of background (Much cheaper than these over priced universities). Beyond that, it will be a very traditional recruitment process for most of these firms. Applying through graduade recruiting rounds, HR departments etc. If you wanted to be cheeky you could even pick a couple of firms and ask to speak to an investment advisor or small business advisor and whe you got there asked for their career advice. In a retail situation this would be fairly acceptable as a walk in appointment on a mid week morning.

I don't know if you mean as employment? If you want to be an employee, I can't help you. I was the worst employee that ever existed because I hated being told what to do, when to do it and just plain being restricted. I can tell you about investing, that's what I do now. You don't need to have a degree to invest You just have to be confident, motivated and know how to hire the smartest individuals that universities produce and pay them to help you get rich, However, you must always know about the things you want to invest in.
