Career Change.. how to get a job in banking?

I'm a senior at Rutgers University majoring in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. I will graduate in May with an honors thesis in my research work. My cume rounded up is a 3.7. I've recently realized that I actually want nothing to do with this field and would much rather work in a high-paced banking field simply because I find that lifestyle to be more.. fun.

I have a resume but I'm actually not even sure how to start looking, or where for that matter. I searched the forum for about a half hour to find a similar topic (this one at least) but I didn't find anything and I provide my dearest apologies if I bother anybody with this. Thank you in advance for the help.

 

Kinda late in the game for a senior. Network with guys in bio/tech groups. Might want to start exploring MSF options too.
