OMG What experience should I get as a business finance career?

[symonddeo]

I looked through a few job descriptions and noticed that alot of Financial analyst position ask for totally different types of certifications and experience. What is the most average job experience I should get while going after a career in business finance.

My goal is to start off as a financial analyst and then either become an investment banker or move on into starting my own firm.
