Recommendation - intrigued college student

Hello -

I’m a partner of a PE firm in his 40’s and former bulge bracket analyst. In other words, I’m an old fart and not current on what’s going on in the investment banking recruiting world. I have nephews and nieces who are interested in learning about banking / finance. I figured they could start off by doing some reading.
 

In addition to this site (which is insanely overwhelming) what are good books and websites that a college student could read to get up to speed on the current state of banking and recruiting?

Thanks!
