Other finance opportunities other than IB?

I'm currently a sophomore in college and I am currently relatively lost in what to pursue. I started looking into IB late last semester, around Dec, and was interested in pursuing it at first, however realized that I was relatively behind on networking/technicals. So, I transitioned into corporate banking, thinking this would be a better fit for me/as well as having my own interests lined up better. But, I just got rejected from an interview at a BB and felt very lost. I felt like I had prepared well, had great conversations, and even though I know everyone has gone through a lot more, I would love to receive more thoughts on how others navigated this as well as understanding what other finance related opportunities are still recruiting.
