Career advice for Incoming Freshman

I'll be entering a T-40 University this semester. I'll be going into Corporate Finance as a first-year student at the Business School of this University. I have high levels of trait openness, extraversion, conscientiousness. I've worked for a year as an intern at a Wealth Management office and I'm looking forward to the finance industry (regulations and all, haha). Anyway, I was wondering what I'd be looking at for Job Options as a '2023 Corporate Finance BBA' applicant in the 2023 Job Market? I would be willing to relocate nationally/internationally to find the most refined job opportunity, but would prefer scenic cities like San Diego over Snowy Cities like Oslo. I understand that it's a competitive field, and if there are any academic/internship/development programs you would advise taking, I'd be all ears. Finally, I'd like to thank you for your time and consideration.

This may be a joke post but my frat has opened many doors for me. So to some extent, yes, join a well connected frat like sigchi, pike or something.

More than anything just have fun at school. You don’t need to be thinking about the 2023 job market man. It’s great that you’re giving it thought, just get good grades and introduce yourself to every alumni you’re interested in
