Banking is a broad field. If you want to do retail banking (which is the regular teller, personal finance sort of thing…available at most branches of a bank), then start as a teller. In retail banks, education counts for very little (unless it’s the Canadian Securities Course, or the Mutual Funds Accreditation); experience is what matters most.
If it’s commercial/institutional/investment banking, then try your best to get an internship. There are risk departments etc. Know financial derivatives well.

Last question: I personally graduated with a degree in Mathematics, and I regret it everyday. It was a waste of time; you need a graduate degree for a math education to be worth anything (unless you go into teaching). Don’t believe what anyone else tells you. It makes no sense in doing a degree if it isn’t going to land you a job. I would recommend switching to math and accounting/finance etc. Economics isn’t that much better as they typically want Phds. If you still have time, switch to engineering.

First you must finish college and get a degree, then join bank for working experience, then work out from there to realise your ambition.

I’m sorry to hear about your job loss.
It’s going to be hard to find an equivalent job in the current economic climate.
I would advise contacting firms directly, as well as searching on job sites.
These are difficult times.

Most major companies do have offices outside of NYC, however, if you really want to make it big in banking NY is the place to be. I started my career in Boston and made the move to Wall Street.
You do get compensated well, but you also work more than just 9-5. Luckily I have a wife that understands as she has a demanding job as well. To give you an idea, my wife and I have a mutual friend that worked for a major investment firm on Wall Street. On 9-11 he realized he left his keys in his office and went back later that night to get them. Believe it or not there were some guys working. Moral of the story some banks do not care what is going on around you, close the deal and make them money or someone else will.
Keep in mind some of the more prestegious firms only hire MBA’s from the top 20, if you aren’t from Harvard, Wharton, Yale etc.. You will have a very hard time getting your foot in the door.
I would recommend visiting some of the bank websites and reading about the career paths for MBA’s. Most of them have a typical day in the life, career path etc..
