How to get into investment banking after graduating college?

What is the best way to get a job in Investment Banking if you have already graduated college and have no prior experience in the field? (other than classes)

I recently graduated from a four year university with a double major in Finance and Supply Chain. I have internship experience in the supply chain field (2 internships) but none in finance. I have realized now that I would like to pursue a career in Investment Banking rather than supply chain and wanted to know the best way to get into the industry. I would be willing to do an internship for a while if needed but wanted to see all of the options I have.
