Wanted job: financial analyst. I got associates degree; pursuing bachelors; no job experience; where to start?
With an associates degree in accounting I'm about to pursue a bachelors in business/finance. I've got no relevant job experience in this field. I don't know what would be best for me to do in order to land a job working as a financial analyst. Should I get an internship while earning a bachelors degree, or finish up the bachelors and get an entry level position in a bank? Is a bachelors even enough? Do I need to go for my master's and/or a CFA license or some other certification or an exam? Where is the highest ratio for job satisfaction and lucrative prospect in the finance field? Would I need to utilize my associate's in accounting? What GPA should I maintain for this profession? What starting salary can I expect to get? What other professions are there in the finance arena which are not too stressful/time consuming, offering good pay? I have no idea where to start, so any constructive advice and opinions are all greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you are young. If you are, definitely do internships while earning your bachelor's degree. They can be short term and you'd be able to do a few and get a broad range of experience. Resume building is going to be key. If this is what you want to do in life, get the experience and supplement a good education.
CFA is something you cannot pursue until you obtain your bachelor's degree. The CFA is going to be as beneficial as a Master's degree.
If you want to find jobs that you can pursue with the degree and CFA, do a search on "CFA" on websites like monster.com and careerbuilder.com. That will give you a perspective on what you can expect.

Ummmm.... not to be rude but perhaps you should take a class in grammar. It will make a difference in how the potential employers perceive you.
Good luck!
