<p>I'm an incoming college freshman headed for Notre Dame in about a couple of weeks. I really want to get into the business field asap; unfortunately, ND's business program doesn't start until sophomore year.</p>

<p>So, I was wondering if there were specific business books that you would recommend me to read up on before undergrad business begins. I'm focusing on finance- anything on investment strategies, etc. would be great. Textbooks, paperback, whatever works.</p>

<p>I have some networking going on with small investment firms, got really lucky, but if I don't know anything... well you guys get the point :D I'm hoping to self-study topics and get an internship by next summer. Crazy, maybe :/
Thanks.</p>
