How to become BB analyst if I’m Ireland?

(Sorry if I posted this twice posted it in Trading forum by accident) I am from Ireland and am 15. I am in Transition Year (fourth year) in secondary school. I have always been interested in Private equity, hedge funds and investment banking. I am athletic and do well in sports and school. I have some questions regarding boosting my chances of becoming an Investment banking analyst. 1. Would I be better off doing a complicated college course like Finance and economics than something relatively easier like commerce? 2. What outside the box things can I do to increase my chances of becoming an investment banker, especially now that I have more free time in transition year? 3. Please again tell me some things that I can do to increase my chances Thanks
