teach:
there is banking and there is accounting , ususally after doing your b.s. it is recommended to do your MBA. train well in summers and the salary depends where r u going , mult-national corporations pay accountants really good salaries.

At least a bachleors degree in business or finance. To get into banking (other than a teller) or investments you will need at least an insurance licence (many banks and investment firms sell annuties) or a series 6 securities license (for mutual funds) or a series 7 securities license for stocks.

Highly HIGHLY unlikely you will be able to break into any of those field with an associates degree. You will want to focus on eventually getting a BS in Finance at least. Take classes on things like Statistics, Economics, Asset Valuation, Finance. No one really cares about the marketing or business management classes you take as an undergrad.
**The guy above me is mistaken, I have never heard of anyone in investment banking or trading who goes and gets their insurance license or a series 6….It’s generally the Series 7 and 53 which are licenses to sell equities and munis. Both require that a company sponsor you before you can even take them.
