Exit Opportunities After IB

Hi all. 

I am an investment banking analyst at a BB in NY just starting training. Lately I've been giving lot of thought to what I want to do after my investment banking stint and was hoping that maybe someone on this site could have better ideas of possible exits given my interests. I really appreciate any insights, advice or ideas anyone might have.

I really enjoy the work I've done in my short time as a banker, but I think I take a stronger interest in economics over corporate finance. I am especially interested in economic policy, and I am highly interested in international affairs and government. Friends and family consider me a very patriotic individual and I take interest in being a government representative (although I do NOT hope to be a politician..). 

Thank you again for your time reading and/or replying with any career ideas, etc. Any thoughts are welcome!
