Need Advice

Hey guys, So basically I have an incoming IB internship for 2025 (class of 2026). I originally was an accounting major, but realized that once I got my internship I should switch to finance. Here’s the problem, when I switched I realized that I was gonna graduate in 2025 before my internship. What should I do? Is getting a masters worth it? Start early? Finish half of an MBA? Travel? Try to take a double minor? I just was coming here on what y’all would do with that extra year.
