Investment banking for a novice

Hello, hope you're all doing well

I'm in my First year of pursuing an economics degree and I wish to break into investment banking almost as soon as I graduate 3 years from now. 

I have good research skills, (just putting it out there that I started working when I was 14 and now I'm getting to work in marketing for Google and other big brands but leaving all that to pursue IB) I have great Excel skill, I will very soon learn basic accounting, and my roadmap is to complete FRM and CFA (till the second level) till I graduate.

I will be learning financial modeling, I am actively upskilling myself in case studies and have already won a couple against MBAs, and looking forward to understanding the stock market (am already well versed in technical analysis)

Is this okay to do at this level to break into IB or do I need to do more? Willing to provide tons of more details. (PS by breaking into IB I mean an internship or an associate job at big firms)

No, it’s impossible.

Being an accountant is your best option.

Or an economist.

But IB at your point is not possible for you.

Good luck.
