It's obvious how you get into law or medicine, but how does going into finance work?
For students at Smith College the normal path is you get very high grades and take some math-heavy courses, get a summer internship with an investment bank after your junior year of college which results in a full time job offer, then after 2-5 years you get an MBA and then get a more senior position at an investment bank.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
