English language and literature + Masters degree in Finance

Good afternoon,

I'm a student majoring in English with a 4.0 GPA.

I know that some people in banking highly appreciate a quantitave background which I have not so I figured it may be worth to enroll in a pre-Masters programme in Finance since I have to obtain a Masters degree anyway because that's the norm in continental Europe.

My interest in finance was always there in some kind of way but I didn't think about working in it untill I read a few books about it.

Can anyone please tell me what my chances are in banking in this situation because I certainly don't want to throw that amount of money at something I'm not going to use for the purpose of work.

Thanks in advance.
