ER for non-finance

Hey Guys,

how realistic is it for a non-finance major to land an ER position out of college ? I'm a science student from a semi-target school and currently a junior. This summer i will be working as a intern at a VC, so w/o an ER summer research position, is it realistically possible? Just like anyone else, I would like to start at a big firms, but what options would I have.

Thanks in advance.

i'm not too worried about picking up the material. Even as a non-science major, I know my finance from self-studying...especially about the market. Not an expert, but know quite a bit.
