I want your help.

Hey there, I'm new to this website and to, finance. I'm 18 and going to attend a top 10 school in the fall - and I know finance is where I definitely want to be, not only because it's what I want, but for greater personal reasons. But that's another story.

I want to know everything I can to get ready for a job in the financial sector. Where should I begin? What should I read? How should I pursue internships, etc?

I know I should enjoy myself in college - and I fully intend on doing so - but I want to use every tool in the toolbox to get where I want to go, and your help and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
