Is sales at an investment bank a job I should care to look into as a junior in high school?

I’ve been looking into career paths for the past couple months, I’m a junior in high school, and I started by looking at being an investment banker and now I’m at a point where I feel as if I’d enjoy a sales position at an investment more than ib or trading position. My question is how difficult is landing a sales job compared to ib or a trading position? What degree would be need and what college in Texas would put me in the best position? My class rank isn’t great and my gpa is around a 3.7, so does that screw me?
