What is my best course of action if I want to be come a PM at a Hedge Fund

Hey guys, I'm a Freshman at a semi-target and was wondering what I would have to do and how long it would take me to become a portfolio manager at a Hedge Fund. I'm aware this is a covetous title and will take blood, sweat, and tears to attain, which I am willing to shed... I just would like to know what would be the best course of action.

Thanks.
