Career Change Advice

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to make a drastic career change. For reference I graduated uni with a Film degree but I do not want to pursue film as a career and would rather make a change into investment banking and would like to know what would be a viable option for me to make this change considering my lack of education regarding this field.
