Getting first job with no internships

I will be graduating from a non-target (SDSU) this coming spring with no internships. I have been working full time over the past year for a startup in the cpg industry with a launch expected in early 2026 however my contract will be finished in June and will not be brought back at this time but will have the chance in the future if i am able to secure a role for the next few years, at this role I was managing treasury (usd/mxn) along with working with BDCs and banks to borrow money for startup costs. I have no idea for what industry to look in to as for the majority of college I have worked for small businesses with in food wholesale.
