Investment Banking after English/Philosophy Degree

Currently studying at Durham doing English and Philosophy. Got A*AB in English Lit, Philosophy and Maths respectively. Do I have any chance of getting into Investment Banking or high finance? Be completely honest with me. I considered a PGDL into corporate Law but the extra money in IB is just so appealing to me. Do I have any chance or should I go into law instead? I’ve also considered doing Corp Law for a few years and then go into IB so wondering if this is possible?
Again, I’m asking for complete honesty.

What’s your decision at the end? Would appreciate your response, thanks in advance!
