Investment Banking question? Anybody out their a ibanker, or broker?

Hello everybody,

My friend is currently a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where He is pursuing BA in Economics and taking some finance courses. His career goal is to become an investment banker, or broker. After college He wants to pursue a career more in Finance and Banking. But recently He have been considering transferring to the University of Central Florida where he would pursue a BBA in Finance. Right now he is only looking at getting a bachelors degree and not pursue a MBA or any advanced degree afterwards.
So my question is
1) will pursuing a degree in Economics at Madison prevent him from entering the finance and banking industry after college?
2) Would it be better to stay and graduate from a more well know school like University of Wisconsin-Madison as opposed to going to University of Central Florida.
3) Or would it be better to go to the University of Central Florida and Major in Finance.

Any thought are much appreciated. Thank You.

...? why in the hell would you transfer from uw madison to UCF? UW Madison is not bad

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
