Non-target >> Entry Level Corp Fin Jobs

My younger brother had graduated a few months ago from a non-target school and studied nutrition with a 3.8+ gpa. 
 

He had a change of heart in his senior year and decided he wants to go into finance. However, he doesn’t have any finance experience (no finance/business related internships), but he’s had a lot of leadership roles in school and other non-finance internships and he’s a quick learner. Being in finance myself, I realized not much of what we do is mildly difficult, and a lot of the concepts can be picked up through online courses etc. 

I was curious what paths he could potentially take, if any, in the corporate finance world that would be feasible and potentially suitable. Does anyone here have a similar background or know of any people who have succeeded with similar backgrounds?
