Good Prior Experience for DCM

I'm a freshman in college and exploring different careers and a career in DCM seems pretty interesting to me. So I was wondering what type of internships as prior experience are good to have when trying to get into DCM? 

Thank you.

Ideally, but this goes without saying, you get an internship in DCM to maximize your chance of getting a full time DCM job. But other areas could include fixed income S&T, credit risk, some sort of debt-focused AM job (the people you sell to in DCM), or an industry focused coverage group. All would be valuable experience for someone looking to get into DCM.
