Starting Approach

Hello all.

I am currently a senior in high school and sophomore in college. I am here to ask for tips or advice regarding how to get into a halfway decent entry level job. I'm unsure how to approach this, but it is something I would like to get into. For a bit of background, I am going into a finance-oriented field (investment banking), but do not know where to start. I have no guidance or mentors in this area currently, and am starting with very limited assets.

If possible, please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Quos deleniti vel quo magnam dolor. Et debitis dolor nostrum et assumenda.
