Read publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times, The Economist, and Bloomberg Businessweek to learn more about the business world, investing, and related topics. Many books provide a good overview of the investment banking industry, including Investment Banking For Dummies (For Dummies, 2014). Other strategies for exploration include joining school business or marketing clubs, conducting information interviews with sales brokers, and participating in sales competitions while in college (the Sales Education Foundation offers a list of competitions at https://salesfoundation.org/events).
