Try getting an Inbound Customer Services for a major bank? All you need is a excellent interview.

If they don’t know where to start, many people start in banking or insurance. There are always positions available at that kind of firm.

Financial analyst is the title of an entry level position.
So obviously being a fin. analyst shouldnt be youre career goal.
If you pursue a bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, or Economics, or some comibination of the 3, and you maintain a good gpa, you will get a position as a Financial Analyst upon graduation. Most inv banks have a 1.5 to 2 year Analyst process… if you make it to the end you are either fired, go for your mba, or become an associate. . and move on from there.
