It's great that you have a passion for Wall Street, that's definitely needed as a career in the financial services Industry is not for everyone.
I would definitely recommend that you get as much information as possible about the industry and which area you want to focus on. You can go to many of the websites for the major players in the Financial Industry and get an overview about their depts, and what they do.
Secondly, talking to people who currently in the field definitely helps.. as mentioned earlier.. trading is one aspect of wall st., and may not require a degree in finance, however, if you're looking to working on financial strategies, quant analysis, etc.. then a masters degree or MBA would be the right way to go.
Nevertheless, best of luck with your endeavors.. if you really want it.. and believe in it.. then follow the intention-manifestation method that Steve describes...
cheers.
