Banking options

I had a 2.81 my first 3 semesters of college now I have a 3.43 at a different school(will probably be 3.5 after this semester). These are top 60 ranked private universities. At this point though I have had a huge struggle to gain internship experience with my double major in economics and communications. I try and be big on personal accountability and I realize now that I screwed up with my GPA. Should I just get a masters in accounting and call it even? Investing is a huge hobby of mine but at this point in the game I understand that the odds are not really in my favor. I still feel though that I have a shot. I am 21 years old and still got some time to work things out but I struggle to sell myself. What do you guys think I should do?
