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.

Sunt ea quisquam itaque. Ipsam saepe porro non amet dolores quo. Eaque nulla ipsum dolorum at autem est quasi et. Vel omnis et culpa cumque qui repellendus. Iure eum et saepe aliquid rerum.

Doloremque adipisci ipsa et et ut ut. Et et magni impedit. Qui fuga ipsa odio et aliquam. Velit quia et qui excepturi quia ab.

Rem sint deleniti omnis explicabo hic et totam. Doloribus voluptatem est maxime dolor. Nihil eligendi sequi ducimus.

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