Questions about Wall Street jobs from a newbie

Hey guys and gals,

I'm looking into investment banking and financial analysis as potential career paths and was wondering if I could get some questions answered:

-How does one gain experience in these fields after college?

-Would it be reasonable to move to New York after college to land an internship and hopefully a job (I was already planning to head northeast anyway)?

-Could anyone tell me about some different career paths after obtaining both a bachelors and masters in economics and what those jobs would be like?

Thanks!
