New Prospective IB just hopped onboard

So my name is Stephen Buchanan, and ever since I was 17 I knew I wanted to get into business. It started out as a desire to be an entrepreneur, but as time progressed I realized I wanted a job specifically in Finance. Then after watching the original Wall Street and the sequel, my interest turned to becoming a stock broker. So I did some research into the real job, found that I liked it for the most part, and opened my first investment portfolio at 18, which is doing quite well. However, long story short, I took a liking to a more sophisticated side of Finance and investments... the world of the Investment Banker. After much research, a panel discussion here and there, I've come here to broaden my horizon and learn all there is to know about becoming a prestigious Investment Banker. I'm hoping my days of being a chimp will be fairly short here.
