Investment best answer:

Answer by A nobody
Education

You need to understand finance and the economics that help businesses run.
Have a good working knowledge of accounting (understanding taxes wouldn't hurt)
Understand securities law, not only for equities but fixed income and commodities
Have a good understanding of all the investment vehicles that are available.
Improve you communication skills, both in speaking and in writing.

Be prepared to work harder than you have done in the past, and to study more than you ever thought possible.

Rather than ask many unknowns here on YA, get out in the street and speak with brokers, bankers, and any one that's in the industry.
