get a student Visa, and go get your degree from USA.

Yeah, that would be the first step.... or maybe to UK if you wanna be an Ibanker in Dubai... (a hot market)
Based on your posting, no. For the following reasons:
But to answer your question, you can enter the industry any time with the right education and approach.
Thanks aspiringmonkey and ZiggyMon...
Theres a branch of Tepper school of finance here.. Iam trying to get admission there. Is it a recognized college where you guys work??
...that's a part of Carnegie Mellon University -- apparently, the undergraduate business program is top-10 and places a great deal of students in banking.
what country are you in
Iam in Qatar.. There are a total of 2 BB over here ..thats it!!
Thats why its very hard for me to get a good start.
Do any of you guys have any idea of the IB scene in Dubai??
Also, Ill be 25 when I graduate is it too old for IB... When did you guys get started??
Nearly all BBs have set up or are setting up in Dubai.
I would suggest trying to get an internship at any of the major investment banks in the region during this summer (BBs, other internationals as well as local IBs). Also, you might want to consider studying abroad (UK or USA).
Most of the opportunities at IBs are for experienced people. Getting some IB or finance experience is key. Even if it is only summer interships.
Get good grades and start writing to IBs now about internships and build contacts and a network so that you are aware of what roles are out there.
