Go back in time and do undergrad at an Ivy.

 

Or go work for a few years and get a t10 MBA and use it to switch careers.

 

This is probably the easiest/traditional way to do it. 
 

Another option, spend 5-10 years building a track record than try to leverage that. You might be able to avoid Wallstreet BS going this route

I'd suggest identifying firms/money managers you admire/or interested in working for and write them an old fashioned letter. Firms are always looking for talent and there are plenty of people that are willing to give a young ambitious person an opportunity to get started. There is something about receiving a physical letter. Hell, I wrote Warren Buffett in 2007 with essentially the same question and he wrote me back (He had "no ideas" regarding value oriented investment firms in the Twin Cities).

Also it never hurts to start doing something on your own, build up a track record, write about it as if presenting to investors, start a blog etc.
