Are my reasons for choosing IB over trading logical? Also, what should my next steps be?

Hello,

I am a current sophomore. I have a 3.8+ GPA.

1) The main finance jobs I've heard college graduates get are IB, consulting, and trading. Is this correct, or are there any other finance related jobs that pay well?

2) I've cold emailed a few boutique investment banks. A few liked my resume, and said let's talk in a few weeks. I don't know shit about IB, though hopefully I will "intern" at my school's Investment Club this semester. What are the best books/guides/resources or stuff in general to start learning?

3) Is VC an option? I have experience in getting startups acquired, and my network is much more developed in the startup/VC community than the IB community.

Thanks everyone for the help, I really appreciate it.
