Out of undergraduate, what should I do to become an Investment Banker?

I am graduating shortly and trying to figure out what to do. My field is International Relations (specifically, the Middle East) and I have recently sparked an interest in Investment Banking.

Short of traveling back in time and majoring in International Business or Finance, what can I do to become an investment banker?

I speak some Arabic and have lived in the region (as well as London), if that helps. I've read recently on Bloomberg about the emerging Middle East market (well, how it will eventually open up). Perhaps my skills may be of use. I am extremely analytical, it's my passion. I love solving problems, finding solutions and terms such as "negotiation" and "consulting" spark extreme interest.

Intern at one of the big I-Banks for the summer and then go get an MBA, or go to London and get an MS in finance from LSE. Continue to hone your language skills. With that background you shouldn't have much trouble breaking in, assuming you're a good student at a top tier school.

There are so many Ivy MBAs running around now I think this would probably be the easiest way.
