Can anyone provide me with some tips on my current carrerplan?

Hi everyone,

I am a Student at the University of St. Gallen in my fifth Semester, studying Business Admin. My Grade average is 5.0 (3.3 GPA) and I'm currently interning at a small Investment Advisory Boutique. 

I want to pursue a career in Finance but am not yet dead-set in possible positions. I find Asset & Wealth Management very interesting but would also like to explore Sales Roles. 

My original plan was to finish my Bachelors and then take a year off to do more internships to enhance my chances of getting into a good Finance Masters Program. But i've recently been playing with the thought of applying to graduate programs. 

Can anyone give me a piece of advice and can i leverage my current internship for any of those positions?

Thanks
