need advice - kind of lost on the job search

I'm a junior at a target school in the Northeast majoring in Economics. I've been extremely lost in the career search in college/high school and COVID + family issues really hasn't helped with being out of the loop with whats going on in this industry. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I like and what I enjoy (a good dose of existential depression) and I'm scared that I don't have the stats/awareness/network for a good post-grad job

Right now I have a 2.5 college gpa, an internship in IT and a consulting one with iXperience

I'm trying to decide if breaking into finance/consulting is a better option or if I should take a gap semester/year and try to get experience somewhere else. 

Any opinions? Been out of the loop for a while and I can't seem to get the mindset/industry knowledge back
