Job switch

Can a business journalist land an investment banking job after his masters? I am a business journalist seeking an Investment banking job, with an average GPA of 3.4 for my undergrad. I am nothing but amazed by the finance world and the work that they do. Hence i came to a realization that i can apply my research skills at an investment Banking job. My target school is columbia for MA economics, but also plan to apply at northeastern, rochester and syracuse for msc finance
