Stuck on which to pursue, IB or ER

I'm currently a freshman in college at a semi-target and am at the place where I need to decide on what job I want to put full effort into. I joined an organization at my school that has great connections into IB and ER and have some family history in IB. That being said, the reason IB has some appeal is that there seems to be a more paved path into the industry and from what I've read the exit opportunities are more appealing for extreme growth professionally. I was only introduced to ER in the last 2 months but have spent time having informational chats and just generally learning more about the industry, my interests lean more towards ER, but I'm scared on what Ai might look like in the industry when I graduate. What should I do?
