Rising junior with no offers - what to do?

I'm a rising junior studying economics at a large big ten school and I'm interested in going into IB after graduation. Although I've interviewed at a few places for this summer (one equity research interview and a few insurance companies), I've yet to land an offer. Is there anything that I can do at this point? Should I just call up PWM firms in my area and tell them I'm willing to work for free? I feel lost and I'm starting to get frustrated with my position.
