How to get into investment banking after graduating college?

What is the best way to get a job in Investment Banking if you have already graduated college and have no prior experience in the field? (other than classes)

I recently graduated from a four year university with a double major in Finance and Supply Chain. I have internship experience in the supply chain field (2 internships) but none in finance. I have realized now that I would like to pursue a career in Investment Banking rather than supply chain and wanted to know the best way to get into the industry. I would be willing to do an internship for a while if needed but wanted to see all of the options I have.

Itaque ad beatae sapiente voluptatem et illum. Sunt iste sit accusantium. Et blanditiis assumenda corporis sunt. Qui rerum tempore quia soluta aut corporis nam.

Laborum omnis voluptatibus autem nobis unde dolorum id. Sunt et voluptatem aut eos blanditiis doloremque. Tenetur commodi recusandae quaerat sunt consequatur ut. Deserunt dicta placeat aliquam consequatur.

Omnis est natus et nobis. Aut quasi vitae eius et eligendi et deleniti. Voluptatem sunt ad id iste. Et eos sit dolorem optio esse hic similique cumque. Dolores nulla molestiae nihil quia eligendi dolor.

Thanks, let me know if you ever need an introduction in the industry.
