hf possibilities out of undergrad

i like investing but am not sure if its exactly what i want to do for the rest of my life. what are some hfs that are possible out of undergrad (northwestern) but also give optionality. or do u guys just recommed i do the typical ib path for two years and pivot. either way was just looking for a couple of names to keep an eye out for that would be a possibility. the names i know so far are (BAM, citadel, p72) so not an extensive list

a million threads on this but I’ll entertain: citadel, point72, and now balyasny and millenium have structured programs. pretty sure some t2 mms such as verition and freestone also have program. then the random one offs like valiant take interns through stock pitch comps. most else is pretty random opps.
