<p>Hello all, I am new to this board and for the most part I think I know what I want to do in my future. I didn't do too well in HS so I plan on going to a community college in Santa Barbara, where I live. There, I plan to study and work a lot harder and get my associate's degree majoring in finance/banking and minoring in managerial economics with a GPA above 3.5. Then I would hope to transfer to either UCLA or USC to complete my second 2 years and get my bachelor's in the same area while getting internships at investment banks (hopefully) and management work experience. Then I want to get a job after I get my bachelor's as an analyst at an i-bank while doing some internet solutions stuff like web design, graphic design, ebay selling, web management, and online marketing (which I do all of that stuff already). Also at the time I will be preparing for my GMAT by taking courses and stuff... Then once I am satisfied, I will try to get into a BS such as Anderson or Marshall. I would then like to study there for 2 years in order to get my MBA and graduate with a really good GPA. Then I would like to get a career as an investment banker in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>I don't know if this is a good idea or not, I know alot of it is a long time from now... I'd just like to know how it sounds? And I do have one more question: How easy is it to launch a job as an i-banker after getting an MBA because I heard there aren't many positions for investment banking...</p>
