What is the best way for me to get into the field of Finance?

I am currently working on getting my bachelors in finance. I presently am working as an electrician and I am looking for any ideas on the best way for me to get into this field. My goals are to eventually run my own buisness. My interest right now is in corporate finance, although I am very open minded to any other area. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks.

To get the job you want it is based on who you know and not what you know. I would network with people, go to the career fairs, talk to your professors, career services, deans, etc. They all should know you by your first name! Make it such that your name is the first name on every ones mind when a job comes up! Here is a scenario: You plan on opening up a business, would you hire someone off the streets from a resume sent in for your finance manager position or would you offer the job to someone that comes highly recommend by one of your business associates whose opinion your value and respect? Again, it is not what you know but who you know!
