I (sophomore) got a job in IB at a top BB and feel like I know nothing about finance.

I'm a sophomore at a target school and got an internship at a top BB in IB. From this, one might think I know a lot about finance and economics, but to be honest I feel like I know barely anything. Does anyone have insight as to what this must be?
