Best way to get to value fund

Hello all, I am currently a rising junior at a nontarget in a flyover state. I have always been interested in value investing and would someday want to start my own. I'm lost on how to get there as I always thought IB would be the best way but as recruiting is finishing up and I don't have an offer, I'm not sure where to go. Any opinions will be very helpful
