Investment banking

Hello, im new here... im pretty confused how do end up working with IB. I hope you guys will make me more clear in my head.

Im 19 years old and graduating from a swedish high school. My grades arent the best, but im going to take examination to get better grades. Im expecting to apply to universitys 2008. And i got no work experience, not even shit jobbs as macdonalds :P

How much dose it mather how good the university is ranked during undergraduate studies? Im thinking of going to univ of Birningham or royal holloway in UK (top 15 univ in UK). And then later on taking all the test required to upply for a master at a top 10 university in UK or US...

I will probleby be 23 years old when im finished with my undergraduate studies...is that problem? How old are people in the business?

What do you guys think of my plan? Any thoughts or ideas?
