Buyside/ PB investment role out of undergrad

Hey, how hard do you guys think it is to get into a HF/AM role out of undergrad? I love am actually very interested in investing, not just the salary. If a HF/AM job is not realistic out of undergrad, would it be a good idea to try and get an investment role in PB/PWM? Thanks
